Hi @molly0xfff, how are you doing these contextual profile links on your site behind people's names? We are trying to do something similar with clickable Fediverse handles for FediForum notes e.g. https://fediforum.org/2024-09/session/6-e/ but it's a bit of work, and yours are nicer anyway! Any tips you can share?

P.S. Good chatting with you at XoXoFest.

@j12t @manton it's very custom and pretty manual. it's a plugin i built for EditorJS: https://github.com/molly/dynamic-website/blob/main/frontend/js/MentionsTool.js

@molly0xfff Ah! Would be nice if that kind of thing was an automatic widget...

On the FediForum site, which is a Hugo static site, we use a custom shortcode with the Fediverse handle, which looks up the profile URL from a JSON file, which is generated asynchronously by doing WebFinger lookups on all strings that look like they might be Fediverse handles anywhere on the site. Also rather ... involved.(There must be a better way! Some day ...)
