The IndieAuth extension to OAuth2 is perfect. I will adopt this in @home_assistant to make it easier for people to build apps against local instances.

If you’re familiar with OAuth, this introduction to IndieAuth walks through the process of how auth for the open web works. Really happy that Micro.blog supports this now.

Working on on Indiepaper has been a fun project. It's involved writing Python, Swift, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and using @awscloud Lambda, S3, and CloudFront. #polyglot

I added experimental support for IndieAuth in Indiepaper today. Test it out here – https://www.indiepaper.io/indieauth.html. Once authenticated, you get an automatically generated bookmarklet and a button to click for automatically configuring Indiepaper for macOS.

Thoughts: The requirement of apps to have a publicly accessible website conforming to the IndieAuth API might be a limiting factor
On the other hand, globally unique identifiable apps is a huge benefit in terms of admins being able to restrict app access. I.e., currently every user can revoke app access to their account, but server admins cannot say "I don't want the cross-poster to work with my server" because there is no such thing as *the* cross-poster

IndieAuth sounds interesting as a more generic way for federated applications to allow app registrations https://indieauth.spec.indieweb.org/
The question is how do we adapt this after our current, extremely similar but somewhat different system has been in production use for around 2 years #mastodev

@gargron isn't it great though
i mean the whole thing of registering apps has mostly been justified by commercial restrictions and a pain in the ass for developers and users

Two of my podcast editing students just launched "The Psychology of Nothing" -- where two women (who are also psychologists!) talk about the minutiae of things they overthink. Episodes are a tight 30 minutes, because my students learn well :) https://psychologyofnothing.com/

It would also be nice to add IndieAuth to the Indiepaper website, which could then generate bookmarklets and macOS configuration links automatically based upon the IndieAuth exchange.
For the use case of Aperture, the user would log into www.indiepaper.io with https://aperture.p3k.io, and then would select a channel to publish to during the auth flow.

Phew! After long awaited anticipation, I’ve built in a draft version of automated webmentions into my site, so now when I like and reply things from my Social Reader my site will send out a webmention immediately. No more 1-2 delays in my replies 😁🎉

I’ve made you an itty bitty experiment just in time for independence day–
a tool to create websites contained within their own link.
