    Every time I visit Aaron Parecki’s website, I come back with some inspiration - understand why & how he is implementing the things the way he is. There are many design decisions he’s handled perfectly.

    But every time I visit his “Articles” page, I am bewildered with one decision he has made there. He loads a list of posts, fine. But then follows it with complete contents of 20 recent articles. Given that his articles are heavy on images, that’s more than 25 MB of response. Not ideal, I think.

    Aaron Parecki
    I keep struggling with that page, and blog posts in general.

    Right now, any time a post appears in a list, there isn't special handling for it, so these blog posts appear the same whether they are on the "articles" page or whether a single one appears in a tag page or my home page. I *think* I'm happy with that decision for most places on my site, but you're right that it's a bit much having 20 of them in a row.

    If I was better about always including a featured image and always writing a summary, I would definitely switch to a sort of "card" view on this page, but I haven't figured out what to do when a post has no image or summary, since just the title isn't quite enough.

    That’s strange. Next time that happens let me know and I can see if there is a particular checkin that is causing the error.

    i think what i will do is, if Michabo is in dev mode, you can specify a hardcoded bearer token and use that instead of doing the whole OAuth dance.

    this should work nicely for my prototyping needs.
    Aaron Parecki
    you could just give yourself a special interface to generate access tokens too. sites like github do that.

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
