Seattle is a pretty nice city to walk around during meetings. #productivity

When I'm back in Portland we'll have a walk-meeting photo throwdown

On the flip side, I do partially blame Facebook for the confusing mess that authentication with OAuth (still) is.

There's always room for improvement! I would argue it's better than nothing though!

@aaronpk And when Facebook doesn’t enforce its own rules…

Sure, but that's a different problem. Point is if we didn't have OAuth apps would have been able to get a lot more data since they'd just be logging in as you!

Interesting. I have not seen those complaints. Could you perhaps share any? Clearly, #oAuth2 is about *delegation* and that is what most people miss...

"as we now learn that OAUTH, or Open Authorisation, is one of the many ways that Facebook and the app developers conspire to access not only your data, but that of your friends and contacts" http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/16100549.Iain_Macwhirter__Why_social_media_is_about_to_meet_its_regulatory_nemesis/ Not quite a fair statement.

Occurs to me that rather than build a new Facebook, this would be a really good moment for someone to create an RSS reader that emulated a timeline and featured in-line comments. I’d probably post on my blog pretty much daily if that was the thing everyone used.

Here are some screenshots of exactly that! https://aaronparecki.com/2018/03/12/17/building-an-indieweb-reader We've been making a lot of progress on this over the last few years! I do post on my blog every day thanks to this interface too! :-)

I'm in SF this week and looking forward to attending! I'm planning on giving a quick demo of my new IndieWeb reader that I wrote about here! https://aaronparecki.com/2018/03/12/17/building-an-indieweb-reader

When trying to look closer at that fancy food I got a 404 - seems like on your homepage feed the image links should be modified to be relative to the homepage and not the post URL! (from permalink it works)

Ooh tricky. I solved that for my normal photo posts but for some reason the post from Sunlit failed!

@aaronpk That's awesome! Is it something that an API newbie could learn to do?

Yeah I think so! It was a pretty simple API call and some simple data manipulation. If you have a good source of data it won't be hard! The fact that they count everything by the day makes things a lot simpler.

I’m really looking forward to seeing your implementation for authenticated feeds!

I recently set up Lasso for a private site that holds my notes and find it both a bit too heavy (I don’t want multi-domain SSO at the moment) and not flexible enough (no ACL support).

Yeah, Lasso is meant to just obtain and present a user identifier to the backend, but has no ACL or other policy knowledge. It's perfect for things like the indieweb wiki, and *could* be used to build private feeds, but you need more code for that.

Great. There's an #indieweb channel on the Digital Oxford Slack, or watch this space.

Saw some posts from your lightning talk last night! Feel free to drop by the #indieweb Slack to talk about planning IndieWebCamp Oxford! https://chat.indieweb.org/slack

I'm seeing an extra Z in the timestamp when the authored timestamp has a Z.

Ah, yes, using the .env file makes sense. I've got only one database and so it doesn't matter. But I could see someone using different databases for different purposes (one for day trips, another for hiking?) and so need different maps.

But as I said, while writing it, I decided to move permanently to the mapbox tiles and have made the change on my install.

Say, what and how do you use different databases? Is your installation used by different people?

I have a primary database for my GPS logs, and I have another big one for all my weather data. Every 5 minutes a script checks my current location, looks up the weather at that location, and writes it to that database. That’s how the little weather info appears on my posts. I’ve also used other databases for testing the app so I can write to a test DB, or storing other home automation data.

#25 Different map baselayer than ESRI

Is this something you'd want to change per database? Or would it be something on the whole installation? An easier version of this could be to use the .env file to hold the settings, that way you could avoid needing to make a UI to manage it.

#83 Send webmention to user's profile url when mentioned

I was just thinking about this the other day! I wasn't sure whether you'd want to hyperlink the @-mention to the user's canonical domain or keep it as the micro.blog profile link, but eddie's idea of adding an invisible link inside the h-entry would work too!

Not exactly an issue but why should the server have the option to only return true / false for the unread count on a channel? Could it not be selected on the client and just use if > 0 logic?

I suppose maybe some servers will only be able to return true / false which makes it easier to build a server...

In Aperture, I wanted the option to choose whether to return boolean or counts (or disable it completely) per channel. This way the client can just react to the data it has.

#33 Support access_token for micropub endpoint

Good call, I'll add this. I wish IFTTT would support custom headers or at least the Authorization header tho! This has been a problem for me in the past as well. Maybe if a bunch of us keep requesting it they'll eventually add it.

@aaronpk Mind helping me diagnose something? I think this like is marked up correctly as a u-like-of, but it appears on your site as an "other mention." Do you notice anything funny in my markup?

You've got an h-entry in your h-entry! Check out the extra nested in the parsed result: https://pin13.net/mf2/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fprettygoodhat.com%2Flike%2F1520909433%2F
