  • New integrated authorization server for p3k

    April 13, 2016

    I just launched an update to p3k which adds an integrated authorization server. This means that now when I sign in to Micropub apps like Quill, it will redirect me to my own server where I can have more fine-grained control over the access I am granting the application.

    My new authorization endpoint displays the scopes the application is requesting, and lets me modify the scope when granting the request. This means if an application I don't yet trust requests the ability to update or delete my posts, I can un-check those boxes but still allow it to create posts.

    I also have the ability to have all posts from an application be added to a specific channel, rather than showing up in my main feed. I use the concept of "channels" to create different lists of posts depending on what kind of content the post has. For example, /photos contains all of my photo posts, and /travel contains travel plans, plane flight and train logs, and events that occur outside of Portland. 

    Now that I have a built-in authorization endpoint, I'm looking forward to adding more features to it, such as setting the default privacy of posts so I can allow an application to create posts that are only visible to me (or a specific audience) unless I make them public.
