In comments section to question how to replace disqus he suggest making HN post and add link to it :)
- yoz-y 9y agoIt is an interesting solution but then you have to be assured that your links won't get deleted and so on.
- sebazzz 9y agoAnd surely not all links are HN-worthy. So it is more logical to "watch" HN, and once it gets posted, enable the comment section. or "add to HN" to comment.
- pmlnr 9y agoWebmentions[^1] are nice replacements for any sort of online commenting. [^1]: https://www.w3.org/TR/webmention/ https://www.w3.org/TR/webmention/
- wmeredith 9y agoAm I missing something or is this basically a W3C spec for trackbacks?
- smacktoward 9y agoIt mentions being derived from Pingback (http://www.hixie.ch/specs/pingback/pingback http://www.hixie.ch/specs/pingback/pingback), which IIRC was at least a spiritual successor to Trackback, so I don't think you're missing anything. (Which makes me want to look closely at the security/verification parts of the spec, since Trackback was essentially a system for letting spammers spray whatever content they wanted all over your Web site. I wrote a thing about that back in 2005: http://www.anthillcommunities.com/archives/001653.html http://www.anthillcommunities.com/archives/001653.html)
- majewsky 9y agoI have considered adding that to my static website generator. When a new blogpost is added, post it to HN immediately, remember the link to the submission, and link to it with a caption like "Comments" at the end of the post.
- WorldMaker 9y agoIIRC, some devs have done that in the past and been partly banned because of that, because HN doesn't consider itself a general comment system.
