Reading over the WebMention spec recently seems unfortunate it requires POST requests - if it used GET static sites could just scan HTTP server logs for mentions. https://www.w3.org/TR/webmention/#receiving-webmentions

Static sites can already scan HTTP server logs for mentions. Webmention enables the sender to notify the receiver immediately instead of waiting for someone to click the link, and also enables static sites to offload receiving to an external service like https://webmention.io

  If WebMentions could be sent via GET then wouldn't that eliminate the need for services like webmention.io? You could just look for requests like example.com/webmention?src…
