    Ask HN: What are we doing about Facebook, Google, and the closed internet?

    Aaron Parecki
    I am a member of the W3C Social Web Working Group (https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg), and have been organizing IndieWebCamp (https://indieweb.org/) conferences in this space for the last 7 years. We've been making a lot of progress:

    • https://www.w3.org/TR/webmention/ - cross-site commenting
    • https://www.w3.org/TR/micropub/ - API for apps to create posts on various servers
    • https://www.w3.org/TR/websub/ - realtime subscriptions to feeds
    • More: https://indieweb.org/specs

    We focus on making sure there are a plurality of implementations and approaches rather than trying to build a single software solution to solve everything.

    Try commenting on my copy of this post on my website by sending me a webmention!

    Thank you to the #dotnetfringe organisers for making a white version of the some of the sponsors' logos! Way easier to read now.
    Aaron Parecki
    @adymitruk haha, glad you noticed! I tried finding a press kit on sponsors' websites but not all had one. Took some creative photoshopping!

    Any particular time table?
    Aaron Parecki
    @veganstraightedge I'd love to print before IWS, so June 13th would be the last date to get it to the printer

    I can work up hex versions of these sketches to get the ball rolling.
    Aaron Parecki
    @veganstraightedge That would be super awesome! For things w/o logos, a text design would work too e.g. http://hexb.in/hexagons/jsconfuy.png

    Did I ever show you my sketches of hex #indieweb stickers?
    Aaron Parecki
    @veganstraightedge no! All I saw was the draft IndieWeb logo that fits in a hex

    Q: What's your favorite web feed format for sharing your posts & updates? XML? JSON? HTML w/ Microformats? Other? #rss #atom #json #hentry
    Aaron Parecki
    @statictimes HTML+Microformats2. Would have been a better poll if the options you wrote in the tweet matched the poll options.

    Opened the Mac App Store for the first time in months. There's a $30 app for writing Medium posts. Backing away slowly.
    Aaron Parecki
    @benwerd That's... amazing. Too bad they don't support Micropub cause then I might be tempted ๐Ÿ˜‰

    i read about your reasoning and it sounds like you've built a cool real-time dashboard around IRC - any suggestion for mac/web clients? thx!
    Aaron Parecki
    @brianjesse I mostly use https://www.glowing-bear.org on iOS/mac which is a web client. Limechat is also good.

    All the public Movim feeds can be exported to Atom XML feeds https://nl.movim.eu/?feed/pubsub.movim.eu/Movim . Is his format an IETF one? I prefer to stick to Internet standards and not use some indie protocols and formats for now (especially regarding the support/breaking compatibilityโ€ฆ)

    Aaron Parecki

    Adding Microformats makes the W3C Webmention protocol super useful. For example, here are a bunch of my replies to posts on all sorts of different social networks, all because they support Microformats and Webmention: https://aaronparecki.com/replies?before=20170522T074418%2B0200

    Going to look at this more in depth shortly. Is the standard stable enough to implement now? Has buy in been promising?
    Aaron Parecki
    @postleafapp There's a bunch of individual websites that support it, as well as a handful of CMSs like https://withknown.com and Wordpress

    @postleafapp Great! Yes, it's been in development for a few years, and reached @w3c Recommendation status in January.

    We'd need a way to 1) authenticate and verify a user and 2) programmatically post comments to blogs regardless of their comment system.
    Aaron Parecki
    @postleafapp Check out https://indieweb.org/webmention and https://www.w3.org/TR/webmention/ we're doing this right now!

    Thanks - I'm talking more about the server-side implementation for building the feeds and receiving the Webmentions... will that be open?
    Aaron Parecki
    @ummjackson I don't think they're planning on making it open source. Plenty of OSS code for Webmentions here tho https://indieweb.org/Webmention-developer

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.
