Like the thought of owning my own online identity via a URL endpoint.. This could mean centralized personal control of you data down the line. https://aaronparecki.com/2018/07/07/7/oauth-for-the-open-web

I absolutely ❤️ the idea of the #IndieWeb. Take control of your own content! watch @adactio explain it: https://vimeo.com/265121482 https://indieweb.org

This evening I’ve been trying to build a minimal http://glitch.com app which supports IndieAuth login. After some head scratching I see it’s a tweaked oauth2 flow, I think.
Goals:
- remixable (Glitch shines there)
- transparent
- well tested -
[96/100] Today is my 31st birthday so I dressed up like a punk rock princess 13 yr old! As usual, I will put out my annual report zine soon but here is a mini-report on the last year. This week I am launching a year-long YouTube project... stay tuned! #birthdayportrait #100daysofqs #100dayproject #quantifiedself #punkrockprincess #dollskill #platformboots #glamrock #qs #data #personaldata #debtfreecommunity #travel #selfportrait

People who say San Diego doesn’t have seasons are mistaken. We have many seasons:
- Nice but it rains sometimes.
- Nice but cloudy in the morning.
- Parrots!
- Nice but a bit too hot in the middle of the day.
- HOT.
- Fires.
- Nice but the sun sets too early.

IndieAuth: Eliminate registration for OAuth APIs and use URLs for identity & auth: https://aaronparecki.com/2018/07/07/7/oauth-for-the-open-web

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
