@bbbhltz i know @brennan runs an instance of the Ruby version (from pre-rewrite), you might use that instead? https://webmention.folk.zone
If you're going to run the Ruby version in production, you'll really want to do some maintenance on it because I can't guarantee it's safe to run in that state! -
Thank you! Absolutely no pressure on a further reply. I know this stuff is complicated and everyone is just trying to do their best.

> So if you don't like that I used #Claude to help build the replacement, that's fine! You can treat it as though I shut down the service and go find an alternative, because that is what would have happened anyway.
Well poop. I guess I won't be using #webmentions until I find a solution

No hard feelings! You can download a complete export of your data from webmention.io thanks to the new export feature Claude built! https://github.com/aaronpk/webmention.io/issues/109 -

@brennan Oof.
As for what we can do: I think some of us should self-host the services we care about. And some of us should write their own implementations. That's what standards are for. Having the first implementation be the only implementation that's used widely is a problem.
Exactly! If this is what it takes to get people to build more alternatives to the services I run, I'll consider that a success! -

I'm happy to have the discussion! I wrote a reply with how I'm thinking about this: https://aaronparecki.com/2026/10/17/5/rebuilding-my-indieweb-projects

@brennan ...if it's the thing that finally allows Aaron the capacity to move forward on some of these improvements, then I'm not sure the community has a right to complain about that?
If that crosses a line for you and means you have to migrate to different tools, that's totally fair enough. Frankly, I applaud anyone who takes that moral stance.
But if we're calling for people to come forward to fork those tools now, I'd ask why we haven't been doing the same for maintenance up to this point 🤷
Thank you, well said! -
@brennan (This feels like it came across a little antagonistic, which wasn't really my intent. I should write an actual post on this, but life is not in that shape right now 😅 Apologies if needed)

@brennan A couple of points I feel are just worth remembering: you don't actually need to use any of Aaron's services to be even capital "IW" IndieWeb; and Aaron has provided those services for free for *years*, regularly asking for help in maintenance, and whilst some folks have helped, the most recent releases have implemented several reworks and features that have been requested (without support) for years as well.
I'm not a huge fan of AI. But...

Why I'm rebuilding my IndieWeb projects with Claude
I recently came across Brennan's post noticing that Claude Code has been showing up in the commit history of a bunch of my IndieWeb projects lately. That's true! I was wondering when someone would notice. I haven't been hiding it, but I also haven't written anything about why I'm doing it, so this seemed like a good time to finally get my thoughts down.continue reading... -
