    IndieWeb dev note: Microsub isn't a general-purpose storage API

    Aaron Parecki
    Now that I'm thinking about this again, another totally different option is to add support for YouTube's special RSS stuff to the parser that Aperture uses to fetch feeds. Is that an ugly option? Yes. Would it work well? Yes.

      This would also be reasonable! I’m probably halfway done getting this proxy method deployed using simplepie for parsing and can confirm this is gross. I’ll share what I come up with!

      The basic secret here is just “media rss” (mrss, in a lovely defunct yahoo namespace). That said, it seems like YouTube’s use of it has drifted over the years, if not the mrss spec itself!

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.
