Get your own instance

Things you may need:

• a Github account
• a Netlify account
• a site registered on webmention.io
• backfeed of Twitter via brid.gy (optional)

The easiest way to get started is to fork this repo and deploy it to a new Netlify site:

1. Edit Settings

Open src/data/meta.json and edit it to fit your site. Adjust the url to the URL of your Netlify deployment and the domain to match the domain of your webmention.io account.

2. Set Webmention Token

To fetch webmention.io data, you need to set a new environment variable called WEBMENTION_IO_TOKEN in your Netlify site admin. You can find this token on your webmention.io settings page under "API Key".

3. Configure Build Hook

You can configure Github to periodically trigger a new build of the dashboard, fetching up-to-date webmention data. First, set up a new Netlify Build Hook in your site admin. It will look something like this:

https://api.netlify.com/build_hooks/12345f83c31475e31000

Copy it to your clipboard. Then go to your forked repository's settings page and add it as a new repository secret called NETLIFY_CRON_BUILD_HOOK.
