Protip:
When designing a user interface, imagine some old woman using it, say Margaret Hamilton, and she's clicking your app's buttons and saying to you, as old people do,
"Young whippersnapper, when I was your age, I sent 24 people to the ACTUAL MOON with my software in 4K of RAM and here I am clicking your button and it takes ten seconds to load a 50 megabyte video ad and then it crashes
I'm not even ANGRY with you, I'm just disappointed."

Props to @Namecheap for adding TOTP password support. I know I wasn’t the only one having issues using @1Password with their login and it’s all been updated.

For today's IndieWeb Challenge, Aaron Parecki did a great presentation on IndieAuth and had a text transcript of the QA time at the end. Today I took the transcript, shortened it up and bit and added it to the IndieAuth FAQ page on the wiki. Feel free to check it out and add your own FAQ suggestions!

I was reading a post by Greg McVerry when I happened upon the credit for his featured photo. At first I had thought it was a stock photo, and when I realized it was from a IndieWebCamp, I looked closer and noticed that Aaron Parecki’s website was featured on the photo in the cell phone. I looked a bit closer and thought “someone has doctored his avatar as it’s tilted in the photo.” Then, knowing Aaron, I thought I had better check on my cell phone.
It turns out if you visit his site on a cell phone, his avatar rotates with the phone!
The whimsy of this just brightens my day.
