That poor server has been having trouble the last few weeks. It's not mine but I do have the ability to reboot it now.

let's try this again

Give it a shot! I think most things are parsing the whole page for the rel values.

@manton2 *just* posted that you can add custom HTML to the footer now! http://www.manton.org/2018/07/micro-blog-hosted-footer-html-and-redirects.html so I think you can add a link to a microsub server there now!

oh no me too!

Did I ever end up talking to you about this? IndieAuth is a solution to this exact problem, as it replaces the need for client registration with making client IDs be the URL of the app and omitting the secret. (You can't use a secret on mobile apps anyway.) IndieAuth means apps don't need a prior relationship with the server.

I never knew that was a thing, but I am glad I do now!

I have... 60 tabs open: https://aaronparecki.com/now/

Good point! I should have mentioned that. Also there's http://sendawebmention.com (Telegraph)

toot?

ahhhh I had to stop 30 minutes before the end last night! Can't wait to finish!

Yep! For comments from Twitter, Bridgy creates the web page and sends the HTTP request so that you can receive a webmention from a tweet just like you can receive a webmention from a normal web page. Bridgy doesn't help with sending webmentions tho.

whoa that eye

UI feedback Ian a great idea. I would suggest the app turn the button a different color while the Micropub request is pending, then changing to the confirmed state after it gets the Micropub success response. If the Micropub request fails for some reason then it could turn the button into yet another state to indicate the error. It also sounds like maybe the app could at least maintain its own cache of posts that it has created likes for in order to be able to show whether a post has been liked before. I think there's also an open issue on Microsub to return that info in the post data as well.

I'm a big fan of push notifications for login! I have that set up on my own website right now! https://aaronparecki.com/2017/10/04/23/passwordless-logins #passwordless

Wait haha what'd I do?
