@fastfinge Hi!

I was wondering, what powers your stuff.interfree.ca blog? This looks better than writefreely, what with having replies from fedi straight up displayed on the website itself, and the possibility of actually replying right from any client.

Does it allow for people to subscribe via emails too?

@xogium No. It’s a custom statiq template with lots of JavaScript for comments and betula for the links, updated by rclone and all wrapped up in a powershell script.

@xogium You can get the JavaScript for fediverse comments with a quick view source if that’s all you want.

@fastfinge I don't quite know how I'd integrate that into writefreely. You have any idea?

@xogium I’ve never used write freely sorry. You’d need to modify the template or theme somehow.

@fastfinge I think that can be done, but I'm gonna check the doc to be sure of whatever I'm saying. :D

@xogium Basicly you ad some JavaScript in the head section, and a div on every post with the url of a mastodon post to get replies to.

@fastfinge Hmmm. It looks like writefreely uses ninja2 for template generation. I believe I could get away with customizing the base.tmpl file, this way.

What would I need as html into the post for example for this to work then?

That does look very much promising.

@xogium I’m not at my desk. But view source on an article from my blog and it should be obvious. You’re looking for the fediverse comments js file in the head section and the div in the body that refers to fed.interfree.ca

@fastfinge Gotcha. I'll have a look. Thanks!

It looks like you can only customize css and js if you're a pro subscriber of write.as. Too bad I self-host it and can thus do whatever the hell I want anyway. Hah.
