I have a chicken and egg problem.

When I publish a blog article I want to include a link to a corresponding Mastodon post. To write the Mastodon post, the article needs to be live. But to publish the blog article, I need the URL to the Mastodon post. But I don’t know the Mastodon post URL until I publish it. Ahhhhh!!

Am I really going to have to deploy my site, post a toot, then turn around and add the link to my site and deploy again? Ugh, there’s got to be a better way.

@bw same, I've just resigned to editing the blog post

you could probably do this with some sort of webhook

@bw I think @cory is doing something like this, though I don't know the particulars.
