curated comments: Difference between revisions

This article is a stub. You can help the IndieWeb wiki by expanding it.

curated comments are an approach to presenting comments on posts which emphasize one or more techniques for only showing comments that have been explicitly selected by the original post author, both from other sites and local comments, sometimes with a UI deliberately designed to solicit comments as collaborative notes to be added to the original post.

IndieWeb Examples

• Tantek Çelik added curated comments (reply permalink link and author) to his blog posts from 2002-2007, eventually based on shared links and search results from Technorati. E.g.:
  • 2002-10-22 Bed and BReakfast markup (B&BR), scroll to the "Comments:" at the end with commenter names linked to their comment permalinks, with a flag in front of their name when their comment is in a different language.
  • 2007-01-04 New Years Resolutions 2007
• claudinec is manually curating comments from the fediverse: https://www.claudinec.net/posts/2024-05-26-indieweb/
