I was just noodling on this. I don’t think I’m the right person to build it, but I wonder what an “RSS feed reader + discussion graph” looks like

- subscribe to RSS
- “reply” to posts by blogging on your own site with a meta tag
- readers use the meta tag to thread discussion

This is basically what we're doing with Webmentions. It's an old post, but surprisingly relevant all of a sudden: https://aaronparecki.com/2018/06/30/11/your-first-webmention

  Yeah, frankly I don't think an alternative would end up being significantly simpler anyway once you start accounting for the things that are already established in the current ecosystem. There are tools and services now, and libraries, but we always need more!

  that’s great news! But, looking at this, I guess I mean: if setup involves understanding what an API call is, it’s not accessible to a huge swath of site owners

  The bar may have been higher years ago, but it's pretty low these days! Mature plugins for most popular CMSes, webmention.app, webmention.herokuapp.com, webmention.io, etc.

  Yeah, I love the spirit of WebMentions but the implementation is too high a bar for many (most?) site owners. But maybe a man investment in UX / tooling makes more sense than trying something net new.

  Came here to mention Webmentions! Glad to see a building interest.
