I've seen this done a few ways:

• The Device Flow: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-device-flow which is what you see on browserless devices like the Apple TV logging in to a cable provider from your phone. A short code is generated and displayed on the screen, you launch a browser on your phone and enter the code. This would work just as well from the command line on the same device.
• I've also seen apps use the authorization flow, by displaying the authorization URL on the command line prompt and instructing the user to open it in a browser. The redirect URI is a hosted web page that displays the authorization code and instructs the user to paste it back at the terminal.
• The command line app can launch an HTTP server on localhost and use that as the redirect URL for the authorization code flow. This option ends up being the most seamless since it works like a traditional flow without any special instructions to the user.

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.

@adymitruk haha, glad you noticed! I tried finding a press kit on sponsors' websites but not all had one. Took some creative photoshopping!

@veganstraightedge I'd love to print before IWS, so June 13th would be the last date to get it to the printer

@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

@veganstraightedge that link 404s, is it private?

@dissolve333 I knew I was forgetting one

@veganstraightedge no! All I saw was the draft IndieWeb logo that fits in a hex

@mhaseneyer Just for the logo: https://github.com/indieweb/branding

@statictimes HTML+Microformats2. Would have been a better poll if the options you wrote in the tweet matched the poll options.

@benwerd That's... amazing. Too bad they don't support Micropub cause then I might be tempted 😉

@brianjesse I mostly use https://www.glowing-bear.org on iOS/mac which is a web client. Limechat is also good.

@postleafapp Once it's all set up, it's pretty fun: https://aaronparecki.com/replies?before=20170522T074418%2B0200 <-- All my tweet replies and independent blog comments!

@postleafapp When you start diving in, https://webmention.rocks is useful to test things out! Try getting a comment to appear there!

@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.

@postleafapp Check out https://indieweb.org/webmention and https://www.w3.org/TR/webmention/ we're doing this right now!

@ade_oshineye @julien51 there's a list of some on https://indieweb.org/WebSub but mostly it talks about hubs right now
