Remarkbox now supports receiving Webmentions. External sites can send a POST to /webmention (or /api/v1/webmention) with a source and target URL. Remarkbox fetches the source to verify it actually links to the target, extracts author info from h-card microformats, and displays verified webmentions alongside regular comments at the bottom of the thread.
Sending webmentions (notifying other sites when a Remarkbox comment links out) isn't implemented yet, but the receiving side covers the most common use case.

I am familiar with this project but I'm lacking the expertise to implement into Remarkbox.
I would like to add support if it were straight forward and I had a mentor or guide to hold my hand.
Anyone know webmentions and want to mentor me on implemention (Python, Pyramid)?
