devoid of any dialogue, Carl Sagan’s narration, the action and the smile at the end adds such a beautiful human element to this sci-fi short film. found via @AnikhThakur and @adactio

Yes. * Suppose you reply and send a webmention to a post on A’s site. If there are “threaded” replies on A’s site, I could reply to your webmentioned reply through a comment form. * Then, A’s site could send your reply-post a webmention to notify you and you could then parse and pull in my reply. * It is A’s choice to send a webmention to you or not. Secondly, comments sent through a comment-form do not have a permalink, so even if you recieve a webmention you’ll have to parse A’s original post and do something. * Even if you do a bridgy-style backfeed, how many sites and how many posts on each site are you going to keep track of? Bridgy can do it precisely because it tracks profiles on silos. * Can we not just stop using comment forms and post on our own site? #indieweb

Now I am pretty confused as to what it is you want to do? I can’t see any use case where I would send some one else’s comments upstream to a third person.

bridgy? Maybe you mean webmention…? Bridgy is for getting backfeed of replies from silos, or for POSSEing to them.

scientists say “always label your axes”… what is the horizontal axis in this pretty chart?

@EricMeyer unfortunately the formula is not so simple looking. It is basically given here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_formalisms_in_three_dimensions#Rotation_matrix_.E2.86.94_Euler_axis.2Fangle but trying to get the actual angles out makes it more complicated.

Isn’t that a bit too much to ask from a “web-app” that works only on Chrome?

This looks great! Very good to see another implementation of marginalia. In the current UI, though the “comment indicator” looks a bit disconnected from the text on wide-screens.
