    @aaronpk I was curious about the bookmarks on your website. Are they being published to your site dynamically by your browser. when you add a bookmark? Can they be imported easily back into a browser?
    Aaron Parecki
    No, I don't really use browser bookmarks except the bookmark bar. Those are all created with Quill, primarily using the bookmarklet.

    I don't think this really solves the problem, though. If a server implementation prefers content over summary (which it should), with this example the context of the book title will be lost unless the server is updated to understand read-of.

    Aaron Parecki
    Maybe the logic could be "if the request contains *any* unrecognized properties, the server uses the summary property instead"?

    #92 Using micropub summary property as fallback

    Aaron Parecki

    The summary property is intended to be used for fallback for when the server doesn't recognize the other properties of the request. Most Micropub servers understand content and photo, but this is a great example of an interesting content type that is likely not supported by most servers yet. In this case, summary is the correct place for this fallback content. The content property would be misleading since normally the content property contains user-entered text. For example, if the user enters a note about why they wanted to read this, that could be included in the content property.

    Talked to someone in the airport a few mins ago between flights who works for a company that matches students to jobs using the blockchain. All I can think is... Why?

    john. why don't people microformat more? it's such a good thing.
    Aaron Parecki
    We're microformatting a lot over in the #indieweb! https://indieweb.org/microformats (This tweet was literally brought to you by Microformats)

    Sounds like it's comparable with openid connect.

    Aaron Parecki
    Not quite, since OpenID Connect still requires registering clients to get client credentials to use with the flows. There is a dynamic client registration part of OpenID Connect, but this allows you to entirely bypass the need for registering clients separately since we just piggyback on the existing DNS for identifying clients.

    #27 Integrate an OAuth2 provider

    Aaron Parecki

    It would be fantastic if Gitea were its own OAuth2 provider! In fact, IndieAuth is the perfect candidate for how to implement this.

    IndieAuth is an OAuth 2.0 extension, which avoids the centralized problems with existing OAuth solutions by using DNS for "registration" of client IDs and user IDs. Every user account is identified by a URL (for Gitea this could be your Gitea user page), and client IDs are also URLs (would be the Gitea instance home page in this case.)

    This would let people sign in to other Gitea instances without any sort of prior relationship or doing client registration and such. Happy to walk through this in more detail if you're interested!

    #3837 Simpler UX for OAuth2 login with GitHub

    Aaron Parecki

    What we really need is federated authentication, but that doesn't exist yet.

    This sounds like a great use case for IndieAuth. w3.org/TR/indieauth

    IndieAuth is an OAuth 2.0 extension, which avoids the centralized problems with existing OAuth solutions by using DNS for "registration" of client IDs and user IDs. Every user account is identified by a URL (for Gitea this could be your Gitea user page), and client IDs are also URLs (would be the Gitea instance home page in this case.)

    To log in to your Gitea instance, I would enter my own Gitea profile URL. Your instance would then do discovery on my URL to find where to send me to authorize the login on my own OAuth server (my Gitea server), which would then send me back to your Gitea where it would be able to verify the authorization code against my Gitea instance.

    I'd be happy to walk through this in more detail if you're interested!

    Did you create a team? Top tight corner, group icon ... without invite you probably have no team so you do not see the features.
    Aaron Parecki
    I thought I did, but apparently it failed silently! I just tried again and now I have a team and this makes a lot more sense!

    Are you talking about the hosted service for EvMan? cc @marek_jelen

    Yeah, I wanted a quick way to try it out without spinning up the whole environment from the source code.

    Use EvMan. https://github.com/evmanhq/evman Developed by @marek_jelen to support the same task for our team of OpenShift evangelists. Awesome sauce.

    I tried it out but it doesn't seem to do anything. It keeps just redirecting me back to my profile.
