OAuth for the Open Web

A little about the challenges of using #OAuth2 in a distributed setting for WordPress, GitLab, Mastodon, and more. Spoiler: it's not all bad news. Let's make this happen!

I don't completely agree with this sentiment, but it was still a fun read: https://stackingthebricks.com/how-blogs-broke-the-web/ #indieweb

My solution to avoid the pain of renewing domains every year: register them for 5 years at a time. 😂💸

One more newline test.

Apparently the last change broke how my posts display in Mastodon, this should look better now.

Testing out a fix for my whitespace bug.

This should look better on micro.blog now.

You can use my location tracking app as a replacement, tho it requires you set up your own backend for it. But at least that way you're the only one who can decide to shut it down!

Just finished part 3 in my blog post series about #OAuth2 grant types. This one is about when to use the Password Grant. Spoiler: you probably shouldn't. https://developer.okta.com/blog/2018/06/29/what-is-the-oauth2-password-grant

Slides and video from my @OAuth_2 talk at #cloudnativepdx last night are posted! https://speakerdeck.com/aaronpk/oauth-all-the-things-an-introduction-to-oauth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wA4kqKFua2Q

I'm excited to announce that @namedotcom is our newest sponsor of @IndieWebSummit and they'll be joining us next week! It's not too late to register! 🔜 https://2018.indieweb.org

Fastest way to find a developer’s email if it’s not listed on their website:

1. Find their GitHub profile
2. `git clone` the most recent repo
3. `git log` and their email is displayed :-)

I'm giving a talk on OAuth at the Cloud Native PDX meetup on Wednesday! https://www.meetup.com/Cloud-Native-PDX/events/251445604/ I'll have a couple of my books to give away there as well! #cnpdx #pdx #oauth2simplified

First time riding a Lyft Line with a dog. #sf

Surprise! I'm in NY! Meet me for a popup #indieweb meetup tonight at Hofbräu Bierhaus near Grand Central! 7:30pm http://4sq.com/i9XQuQ

Finally, a practical hands-on overview of some of the new JavaScript features. No frameworks/React/Angular or build process to get in the way. First time I've actually understood
some of the new ES6 features. https://developer.okta.com/blog/2018/06/05/authentication-vanilla-js

What I took from this article is that @SimoneGiertz is basically the modern day Rube Goldberg https://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/rube-goldberg-got-tech-right/

Just finished beta support for email and PGP auth on https://indielogin.com! Please give it a try and let me know if you find any bugs! Here are the setup docs: https://indielogin.com/setup

This means it's now feature complete with https://indieauth.com, so I can now start switching over my apps to use it. With any luck I'll be able to switch the https://indieweb.org wiki to it before IndieWeb Summit!

@1Password The new behavior of the browser extension opening the 1Password window in the center of the screen is really annoying! I click the icon in the top right and have to move my cursor and focus all the way across the screen to where the window appears! I liked the old way!

Whoa, freeze dried banana tastes like fake banana flavor.

Any suggestions for tools for organizing all the conference proposals you submit? I'm struggling with all the CFP deadlines and keeping track of which I've already submitted to. Right now I just have a giant spreadsheet.

@ExistApp help! I filled out today's report (first time since the iOS update) and the app froze and won't reopen anymore!
