Thanks much for the rec @muhh!

@aaronpk let us know if you are interested in trying it out. You could import your spreadsheet to get started quickly. Oh, and we use Okta if that makes a difference :)

Looks interesting, I'd love to check it out!

Always hard to beat a spreadsheet. I think today I'd use Airtable plus maybe a custom API integration to pull the deadlines out into an iCal feed so I can see them in my calendar

ooh I forgot about Airtable, this does sound like a good use for it!

I deleted all my tweets (I saved the archive) with a plan to let a bot take over, but the bot is still saying stuff like, "To win it doesn’t take ribs playing football (when the username and donuts play Netrunner)" so I'm a little worried about it giving it full control...

Let's publish your tweet archive on kmikeym.com #ownyourdata

tbh being able to acknowledge the challenge from my iOS lock screen without launching an app is the only reason I'm not constantly annoyed by this. SMS codes or worse, having to launch the app, is always ugh

I'm looking at you @Namecheap! I actually disabled the app 2fa and went back to SMS because the app experience was so horrible.

Although I work in the security industry, I really hate multi-factor authentication. So... tedius. Every single time I get prompted for a second factor I feel myself instinctively *sighing*. You?

I just stumbled across this internal email exchange at Microsoft during the antitrust lawsuits and I am amazed at Bill Gates' detailed email complaining about the usability of trying to download Windows MovieMaker (spoiler: he can't figure it out) https://blog.seattlepi.com/microsoft/files/library/2003Jangatesmoviemaker.pdf

By popular demand, and since seattlepi.com is blocking EU visitors due to the GDPR, I've reproduced the PDF email thread as a web page so you can actually read it!

Right now indielogin.com is in beta, and I'm not opening it up for other developers to use that instance just yet. (It's open source so of course you could host your own.) Once I finish email login (and maybe PGP authentication) I'll launch it. However I am also considering requiring that people sign up as a developer in order to use it once it's live, since that will help avoid getting into the situation we're in with indieauth.com now. I could see about making an account for this wordpress plugin though.

The workaround that unmung.com has used is that if instead of loading twitter.com/aaronpk you load twitter.com/intent/user?screen_name=aaronpk you get an mf1 h-card, proper rel=me and other xfn eg http://pin13.net/mf2/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Fintent%2Fuser%3Fscreen_name%3Daaronpk #indieweb

Like I said, there are many solutions to this, but I don't want to keep jumping through hoops. IndieLogin.com now uses the API to fetch the profile info which has a much lower chance of changing or going away.

Uh oh, sorry! Please make sure you have crash reporting turned on in iOS settings so we can get a crash report and look into this for you.

Okay! Took me way too long to figure out how to turn that on. Also of course now it's not crashing anymore, but it still takes like a minute to start up after I close the app.

#60 Enhancement request: Notification granularity

That sounds very reasonable! I think this would make sense to split between debug notifications and normal notifications. Trips auto-ending would be a normal notification, but tracking start/stop and others would be debug. Thanks for the suggestion! I'm due to push an update to the store soon so I will make sure to include this. Thanks!

@aaronpk Specifically, how I address

This client_id is not enabled for use on this website
The API docs are here: https://indielogin.com/api (it's almost exactly the same as indieauth.com for this use case)

I haven't opened up indielogin.com for general use yet since it's still in progress, that's why you're seeing the client_id error. If you're interested, I can whitelist a few domain names for you to test with for now.

Damn! I hate those speakers who think they are some special kind of VIP and not even stay around for a couple drinks. Who do they think they are?

yeah really! Who do they think they are, the president?

😱 And afterwards he’s going to hang out with you to discuss the OAuth implementation on his website and that he wants to integrate webmentions next but still isn’t sure if his PHP skills are enough. 😱😱😱

😂 I wish! 😂 I hear he's hopping on a plane immediately after the talk! I was hoping he'd at least stick around for drinks.

I’ve been a long-time Overcast user, but Castro 3 did catch my attention. So I decided to give it a try. I find I have WAY to many podcasts and I’ve been using the multi playlist approach in Overcast but I’m wondering if the “triage” approach of Castro might work well for me.

I switched to Castro a while ago for some reason, I think the "triage" feature caught my attention. But now that I've been using it a while, it doesn't actually map to how I listen to podcasts. I had forgotten that Overcast has the multi playlist approach, and now that sounds like exactly what I need! I might have to switch back!
