Encouraging mf2json in an alternate? woah, what happened to the anti-sidefile fight, the html-as-one-true-source idea?

Let's call it an experiment

I'll check it out! I agree it didn't *need* to be open source, but Free (libre) reference implementations of open protocols speed up adoption. Also if you have a good open protocol and there aren't open source projects around it, it might not be working yet. ;)

oh yeah for sure. To be clear, my only involvement in micro.blog is having written several of the protocols that they are built on. e.g. https://www.w3.org/TR/micropub/ https://www.w3.org/TR/webmention/ https://www.w3.org/TR/indieauth/

I'm a big fan of getting many implementations early.

A new form of social media: open protocol, decentralized nodes with the ability to mod, central services to do identity and enable content aggregation and discovery. Like online gaming, where people can run their own servers if they want.

Found the top of this thread. This is pretty much 100% the goal of what we're doing. https://micro.blog is one of the first commercial services that works as both providing hosting as well as content aggregation and discovery. Doesn't need to be open source, just open protocols.

That's interesting, but it looks mostly like "the web" - which is totally cool, but I think too hard for most normal people to use on their own. Also doesn't have social interactions.

The IndieWeb is entirely about bringing social interactions to the web in a way that doesn't rely on single companies like Twitter or Facebook. This might explain a bit better: https://aaronparecki.com/2018/04/20/46/indieweb-reader-my-new-home-on-the-internet

#310 Standardize discovery using link rel on user-visible URLs
Just wanted to chime in here again to say that my implementation now also includes a rel=alternate link to the ActivityStreams JSON representation of the page.

e.g.

https://aaronparecki.com/2018/07/12/10/indieauth <link rel="alternate" type="application/activity+json" href="https://aaronparecki.com/2018/07/12/10/indieauth.as2" />

That brings this up to at least 3 implementations that support it, making it a good candidate to incorporate into the spec.

Will be talking about 'The Many Flavors of OAuth' at https://www.apidays.co/sanfrancisco including brief overview of identity layers #openidconnect #oidc, and #IndieAuth. Use code 'Soonhin' to get free tix. @aaronpk thanks for https://aaronparecki.com/2018/07/07/7/oauth-for-the-open-web.

Awesome! I'd love to know what kinds of questions you get after the talk!

While I’m still working out some details about the format, audio, etc, the first episode of my microcast — Shortbox — will be available Friday, August 3rd. If you have any comic related comments or questions, let me know and I’ll discuss them on the show.

Congrats! Make sure you add it to the microcast directory! https://microcast.club

@aaronpk Yeah, I was hoping I could debug stuff locally and not have to deploy for testing. But it's not exactly "live" code on my site that I'm using yet so it's low impact. Thanks!

ah yeah, well if you want, you can install Micropub.rocks locally, it isn't too difficult to set up. Might be a better long term plan to set up a tunnel so you can give your laptop a public web address tho. There are a few tools for that.

@aaronpk Cool. With my Swift type I had to declare it as a type at the outset, so I just wrote up a custom decoder to check for a string, then an Int, and otherwise it will be nil. The Int gets coerced to a String if it’s there. Do you know of any good test suite I could run locally against my server?

Nothing comprehensive yet, but I did make one tricky test case so far: https://indieauth.rocks/client/state/ I'd recommend trying to log in to as many apps as you can find as well.

@aaronpk I'm implementing a Micropub endpoint on a Vapor site (written in Swift). According to the Indieweb.org documentation, the state parameter “can contain anything”. Does this mean a String or Int are perfectly acceptable?

Yep, tho technically query string parameters are not typed so it's all a string in the end. For more info you can look up the OAuth 2.0 usage of the state parameter, it's the same thing. The authorization server will return whatever you send as the value.

@aaronpk for example a jf2 feed as fallback if theme does not support mf2?

Like: Accept: text/html, application/jf2feed+json

Yeah exactly, that way the client can tell the server what formats it can handle, so the server can decide to return a jf2feed (or maybe just the microformats json?) instead. This should also work behind caching proxies since they should take the Accept header into account.

Just to be clear, I'm not sold on this idea to begin with, but I would hate to see a super non-standard way of doing it.
