Pretty amazing that it's 2015 and we're still building custom code to make links go both ways.
EDIT: Just realized that HN is going to be sensitive to this comment due to the "middlebrow criticism" issue. I have absolutely no problem with Twilio's blog post or this project. Hacky fixes have their place -- just know what you're doing and don't abandon hope of getting good infrastructure some day.
- barik 12y agoI agree. In 2000 or so when I first started blogging, pingbacks [1] (or its variation, trackbacks) seemed like it would take off as a popular mechanism for link notification. Unfortunately, for various reasons, it doesn't seem to have really taken off. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pingback http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pingback
