    @aaronpk Thanks. That's what I though. Hmm. Weird that pushing the test button sends every time but the email didn't work.

    @sikkdays okay weird, I will take a look at the email flow! Thanks!

    Aaron Parecki
    @sikkdays I'm still stumped on the Instagram issue, but post by email should be working.

    @aaronpk Hey Aaron! Just wanted to let you know that we did add new endpoints to API 3.0 for creating campaigns! [http://developer.mailchimp.com/]
    Aaron Parecki
    @MailChimp Thanks! So if I wanted to programmatically create content in a weekly newsletter, I should create a new campaign every week?

    In reading this over, I noticed a subtle difference from the Facebook and
    Google implementations, and I'm wondering if this was intentional or not.

    Section 3.1 says "The authorization server prompts the end-user to
    authorize the client's request by entering the end-user code provided by
    the client." The introduction has even more explicitly different wording:
    "(D) ... If the end-user agrees to the client's access request, the
    end-user enters the end-user code provided by the client."

    However this is different from Facebook and Google's implementations, which
    work as follows:

    - Device shows the verification URI and code to the user
    - The user visits the URL and is prompted to sign in to the service
    (Google has the extra step of then choosing which Youtube account to use)
    - The user is then prompted to enter the device code
    - After entering the device code, the authorization prompt is displayed

    In reading this draft, the implication is that the act of entering the code
    also is the authorization. The problem is that the server won't know things
    like the scope or application name until after the code is entered, so it
    can't properly show an authorization prompt.

    I think this needs to be reworded to separate entering the code from
    showing the authorization prompt. I believe it is only a wording change.
    Maybe something more like:

    3.1 "The authorization server prompts the end-user to enter the end-user
    code provided by the client, after which it prompts the end-user to
    authorize the client's request."

    and in the introduction:

    1. (D) "The authorization server authenticates the end-user (via the
    user-agent) and prompts the end-user to enter the end-user code provided by
    the client. The authorization server validates the end-user code and
    prompts the end-user to grant the client's access request."

    The definition of properties such as content allow for HTML markup to be included. However, the spec does not require that the media type be specified. This leads to inconsistent results when the consumer doesn't know what to expect.

    For example, if the "content" property *can* contain HTML, a consumer will be either stripping the HTML, sanitizing it, or displaying it directly. However, if a user enters something like "I had a great time at the View Source conference <o>", (<o> being an ascii representation of the conference logo), the consumer would need to HTML escape that before rendering it otherwise it would disappear from display. However there is no way to know whether the value is meant to be the literal text or interpreted as HTML.

    Additionally, the current spec does not allow for different media types for summary and content, since the mediaType property lives next to those properties. The following example demonstrates the problem:

    ```
    {
    "@context": "http://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams";,
    "type": "Note",
    "mediaType": "text/html",
    "summary": "Hello <o>!",
    "content": "<b>Hello &lt;o&gt;!</b>"
    }
    ```

    My suggestion is to require that string values can *only* be plaintext, and if you want to have HTML for a value, then you enclose it in an object where you can specify mediaType. This would look something like the following, I'm open to suggestions on names:

    ```
    {
    "@context": "http://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams";,
    "type": "Note",
    "summary": "Plaintext summary, always HTML escaped <o> before displaying",
    "content": {
    "type": "Object",
    "mediaType": "text/html",
    "value": "<p>HTML content goes <b>here</b></p>"
    }
    }
    ```

    Aaron Parecki
    @kylewm.com I'm getting really interested in private/friends-only posts as well, ever since I started posting things in the XOXO Slack more often. I'm finding these community-oriented networks allow me to say things there that I wouldn't want to post publicly. Not even so much as a privacy thing, but also just because the audiences are drastically different, people know what to expect when I say something in the #cocktails xoxo channel, and that's very different from what you'd see in the #pets channel. Great example is I don't really want to post a ton of cat pictures publicly on my site, but I do share pictures in the #pets channel!

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.
