Live-but-throttled is a decent compromise between the first two. Maybe something that submits a notification directly to you, as chance to approve/deny/respond, moderate what gets published, and be generally aware of what you’re publishing for that matter.

An option that just occurred to me:

- use edge workers to fetch and insert data as the page is being returned to the client

That would work in browsers with JS disabled.

You could also have client-side code to update with live data as it comes in.

The downside is that it’s not very portable code, but that’s the same for most serverless stuff, and it’s probably not that difficult to re-implement on another platform.

Oh yeah I hadn’t considered the need for a review & approve step. That’s pretty important. So actually implementing web mentions is kind of non-trivial.
