> A Webmention receiver written in Clojure
Hi, I’m new to ClojureVerse. Hope it 's OK to just drop in with a showcase :3
Basically, it’s webmention receiver. Weepinbell receives webmentions, verifies them, parses their [microformats](https://microformats.org/), and store them (can also sends webhook requests and update an RSS feed when a new mention is received).

For instance, when Alice wrote a blog post in reply to (or merely mentioned) one of Bob’s posts, Alice can send a POST request to Bob’s webmention receiver with params `source` and `target`, notifying Bob that his post is mentioned.

I’m new to Clojure and this is my first serious Clojure project. So I’m still figuring things out. I’m currently working on the v1.0.0 release.
Also, I think it’s interesting to mention that I made a Clojure wrapper of a WebAssembly program written in Go, using [Chicory](https://github.com/dylibso/chicory).

The reason I did this is that there is no stable microformats parser written in Clojure nor Java. I’ve seen an abandoned parser in Clojure and understood that it’s a niche standard. With very few users, it doesn’t really make sense to maintain a native Clojure library.
WebAssembly seems like a good answer. Just bundle `.wasm` inside a `.jar` and use Chicory to run program written in any language. Clojure can “interop” with more than just Java.
