The boat rings your doorbell now

For everyone whose blog borrows a thread here as its comment section: the boat can now tell your site when the conversation moves.

Static hosts — Netlify, Vercel, Cloudflare Pages — each offer a build hook: a plain URL that rebuilds your site when something POSTs to it. Paste yours into Settings under "Your blog," and whenever replies land on threads you created, in any space, the boat rings it. Bursts are gathered into a single ping, so a lively conversation is one rebuild, not twenty.

If you keep a space of your own: its edit form takes a hook too, for rebuilding on anything that moves there. And while we were in there — creators of approved spaces now have full control of their own space's settings, as it always should have been.

The whole arrangement for blogs is written up at https://www.popsicleboat.com/for-bloggers, and there's a longer story on my blog: https://jva.lol/weblog/the-page-that-rebuilds-itself/
