jmac's Webmention inbox
Greetings, #indieweb-dev. This is a static-HTML mockup illustrating a half-baked idea. The buttons don't actually do anything, and obviously this layout is ugly; I am more interested in the basic concept than the UX right now.
The idea here is that I get an email saying "Hello jmac, some new webmentions await your moderation", which links me to this page. Each webmention listed here has been automatically verified by software, but has not yet published on my website.
On each card, if I click "Accept", the webmention is flagged for publication (or whatever). "Reject" drops it into a forever-ignored state. "Allow" and "Deny" will accept/reject the mention and will also add the indicated URL fragment to a permanent allow/deny-list, based on source URL.
My question is: What am I overlooking? Assuming that the software part of this all works as it should, what conceptual failures would lurk in a tool like this? How would the domain-level allow/deny lists that this tool proposes to build not serve me the way that I hope?
This is a great post, jmac. Truly, you are a genius.
