Or Is it just that it only holds on to a fixed number of mentions?

Neither. The dashboard only shows the latest few, but that's just me being lazy and not giving you a UI to page through older ones. It stores them all forever, and I have no plans to delete old ones there.

But you're right that you should copy that data to your own site somehow!

Even though my site uses webmention.io as its endpoint, I use the web hooks to push all the responses to my site where it stores its own copy of them.

Does anyone have an approachable article for "don't trust the client"? Best I've found is the OAuth threat model RFC (RFC 6819), but it's a bit too long to ask others to read for a quick overview :) (not work related)

I just wrote this up since I couldn't find a good answer online! https://developer.okta.com/blog/2019/01/22/oauth-api-keys-arent-safe-in-mobile-apps

Hope it helps!

If you've ever needed a link to send someone to explain why OAuth secrets aren't safe in mobile apps, I made you a thing: https://developer.okta.com/blog/2019/01/22/oauth-api-keys-arent-safe-in-mobile-apps

@aaronpk Heh. As we used to say at the MMORPG company I used to work at: if it's on the client, assume it's compromised.

@aaronpk ....... who would ever assume this

you'd be surprised how much of web security is not immediately obvious to people

@aaronpk also, your blog post doesn't immediately address the pinning case—lots of mobile apps pin their certificates now (which, again, is only as secure as far as the computing platform is .....)

that solves a completely different problem (and creates new problems), but isn't related to the challenge of how to avoid embedding secrets

@aaronpk I agree, but there's a whole section on "HTTPS requests can be intercepted from mobile apps" that most developers will just ignore because they believe they Figured It Out

ah yeah fair point. i'll mention that when i do the video version of this :-)

I would, uh, RSVP except.... um maybe my goal for the event will be to figure out how to RSVP to events
