  • Building an IndieWeb Reader

    Over the last several months, I've been slowly putting the pieces in place to be able to build a solid indieweb reader. Today, I feel like I finally have enough in place to consider this functional enough that I am now using it every day!

    Just made Aperture download a cached copy of avatars and other media it finds in posts! Now the images will always be available over https, and images from old posts won't disappear!

    If you're running your own copy of Aperture, it'll take an extra step of setting up a subdomain to serve the images from the storage folder. They're not served from the main domain for security reasons.

    Had a great time taking the #streampdx studio to the #portlandartmuseum today for some recording sessions! Moving the trailer is always quite an adventure!

    Monocle just got real fancy. I can now set a default account for each channel from which responses should be sent. (Stored in my Microsub server, not in Monocle, so it can work across clients). Monocle recognizes when alternate accounts are available and provides an account switcher UI in the footer. Any "like/repost/reply" actions are then sent via that account instead of to my main site!

    I think my favorite new weird feature of Aperture is the ability to switch it into "Demo Mode" which will hide certain channels from view and from Microsub clients. This comes in handy when taking screenshots and doing presentations where I don't want to reveal some of my private channels I have!

    End of an era. StackOverflow is dropping support for OpenID. https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/307647/support-for-openid-ends-on-july-1-2018

    Posting GitHub issues from my site makes my day permalinks look much less sad on days I spend a lot of time on the computer. #indieweb

    Just implemented mp-destination on my site! I can connect multiple Micropub or Twitter accounts to my site to be able to post to other accounts from Micropub clients when I'm logged in as me. This is the first step of turning Monocle into more of a Tweetdeck-like experience!

    Monocle+Aperture are coming along nicely!

    I just got my GitHub notifications piped into the reader, which is a much nicer experience than reading them via email or trying to track them down on github.com!

    I have a few channels set to show just an indicator dot when there are new posts rather than showing the number of new posts, a much calmer experience.

    Unread posts show up with a faint yellow glow around them, and they're automatically marked as read when they scroll off the screen.

    At this point, I've actually moved all of the feeds I was previously following from IRC into Aperture as a way to force myself to continue putting the finishing touches on it!

    Monocle is coming along nicely! It now automatically marks things as read as you scroll through the timeline. The unread counts in the sidebar update automatically when new posts come in as well! I'm getting so close to being able to completely switch off of IRC as my reader!

    My flight moved from SFO to OAK due to the weather, so I ditched the Lyft mid ride and switched to BART! #travel #sf

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.
