    I read somewhere p-name is no longer necessary?

    Aaron Parecki

    A change in the Microformats parsing spec from a few months ago reduced the cases where parsers would auto-generate a name property if there wasn't one in the original markup.

    Previously, when the name was autogenerated, people ended up having to add an explicit name property to the HTML in order to avoid weird broken-looking names. Now that this change is approved and implemented in a couple parsers, things are working a lot better. I believe the Ruby parser has not yet implemented this change, but it's in the Python and PHP ones.

    Certainly one option is Mastodon could just remove the p-name class, since the newer parsers would end up seeing those posts with just the summary and content properties.

    Since afaik no Microformats consumers have the concept of CW/spoiler posts yet, this does raise the issue of how to provide a good fallback behavior for consumers that don't understand spoiler posts. My thought with moving the p-name class to the same element as p-summary is that the current consumers will see it as an "article", most likely only showing the name of the article. Here's an example of how my site renders comments that have a name (whether or not there is also summary or content)

    Similarly, here's what my site shows when I'm replying to a post that has a name:

    If the p-name class is used only for the CW/spoiler preview text, then my site wouldn't show the full content in either the reply context or as a comment, which seems like the safest fallback behavior.

    I want to build a quick little web site for a thing and I'm facing analysis paralysis over which programming language to write it in, augh 😠

    Aaron Parecki
    Which language would be the easiest for you to deploy and maintain going forward?

    There are obviously ways to do it. But the problem is it introduces friction. Users have to do X before they can do Y. Instead of just being able to connect an app to their WP site without having to install additional tools. WP needs a core solution for authentication.
    Aaron Parecki
    Absolutely. I was more implying that someone should take this plugin and move it into core as a quick way to get OAuth into WordPress, since the work is already done.

    Similarly, if I had the proper skillset I'd love to push for more methods to be included like OpenID and IndieAuth.
    Aaron Parecki
    Check out the work done on the IndieAuth plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/indieauth/

    It also works as authentication for the REST API. IndieAuth has the benefit of not needing to pre-register clients, so it is actually useful in a distributed setting like how WordPress works.

    go-camo was indeed originally intended to proxy only images, for two reasons: 1) the camo project it was inspired by only proxied images 2) my use-case at the time only required proxying of images

    Later, a fork was created by a user to additionally proxy fonts and css. I wasn't comfortable including those in go-camo -- see discussion on https://github.com/cactus/go-camo/issues/20.

    In my experience, video files are "usually" either linked (by url, no content warning), uploaded (service hosts it, so no content warning), or inlined from some hosting service (eg. youtube, vimeo; ssl provided by service). Video files are also generally much larger than image content.

    Can you further describe your use-case/requirements for proxying video?

    Aaron Parecki

    Ah, I can see why css/js could be an issue for some uses.

    I'm using this on the server side of my new social reader application so that all image/video URLs presented to the reader apps are https and from the same origin. The videos come from either Instagram, Twitter, or peoples' own blogs hosting video files directly. Because the majority of the content is twitter-like short posts, the video files are normally always under a minute long so they aren't actually that big.

    Looking at this again, I'm not sure what a good spot for a general note would be.

    If you ok it I'd prepare a pull request adding the header to the examples?

    Aaron Parecki

    At the very least adding the Accept header to the examples is a good place to start, go for it!

    Nope, I also don't have permission to create repositories on the Microformats org on GitHub.

    @aaronpk certainly not crying about a Facebook service shitting down. Just checked out your service, which looks cool, though I’d rather it be HTTPS. I really love Gyroscope, which has a great service for location as well. Web, iOS and Android. You should talk to them.

    Aaron Parecki
    I'm not sure what you mean you think it should be HTTPS? My app is just an app and it sends data to whatever url you configure.

    Gyroscope is neat, and I've met their CTO, but I prefer to have that data in a place that's under my own control.

    @aaronpk could you share this script that adds the weather data? I'd like to add that to my setup.

    Aaron Parecki
    Sure thing! Here's the script I use, you'll need to fill in the three API keys at the top of the file, and of course replace compass.p3k.io with your own domain. https://aaronparecki.com/2018/07/03/7/

    Aaron Parecki
    Pretty cool ideas! You can definitely create the group/folder model with the current #indieweb readers. I'd love to add a search feature to Monocle and Aperture too!

    @aaronpk let me know if this is not the place…signed up to Aperture, added rel link to footer (hosted m.b.). Added a channel (my m.b) and Aperture grabbed latest entries. But Indigenous shows nothing.
    Aaron Parecki
    Probably better to debug in the chat, Eddie (who made Indigenous) can help out there too. https://indieweb.org/discuss

    Honestly? Face ID is vastly inferior to Touch ID. It’d not even close. I’m hoping generation two makes the same kind of leap forward as Touch ID 2 did.

    Awesome. I’d love to figure out a good way to do that token exchange automatically but it’s a good idea to prototype it out manually first!

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
