I just noticed that the webmention.app website is serving and running using a JavaScript package, and it’s open source. You can find the source code on GitHub by Remy . This means that even if the webmention.app host is down, you can still use the service by hosting it yourself or using the CLI.

Hosting the service was never an option for me, so I decided to use the CLI to replace my current GitHub action jobs. Here’s the modified workflow :

name: Send webmentions for new blog posts
on:
  rss:
    url: https://journal.robbi.my/index.xml
    config:
      logLevel: debug
      limit: 1
jobs:
  send_webmentions:
    name: Send webmentions
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
    steps:
    
      - name: Checkout repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - name: Install webmention
        run: npm i -g @remy/webmention

      - name: Send webmentions
        run: webmention "${{on.rss.outputs.link}}" --send --debug

And it worked like a charm!
