    @aaronpk lyft driver here. You should have gotten a notification if a driver accepted your request. If no sign of it even being requested, then try again. Not sure...

    Aaron Parecki
    Thanks! Never ended up getting a notification until an hour before the scheduled time, then it reminded me about the pickup. Then sure enough at the scheduled time I got the "your driver is arriving in 6 minutes" notification!

    New Aperture WordPress Plugin for Indieweb

    Aaron Parecki
    Awesome! I do need to improve the docs on the plugin page. I was mostly just trying to get it out the door to test with sooner than later. With that installed, you should be able to log in to Monocle and other Microsub apps now though!

    @KevinMarks @cwebber @aaronpk I'm sorry but indieweb doesn't count, you're programming your own websites, you're not the general population. That method is not accessible for most people on here.

    Aaron Parecki
    We're not all programming our own websites. https://micro.blog is a great example of a service designed for the "general population" that also happens to implement a bunch of IndieWeb specs: IndieAuth, Webmention, Micropub, rel=me.

    @aaronpk it would be nice if that were the case, but the spec is what the spec is, I guess.
    Aaron Parecki
    If you read it closely enough, it doesn't actually require secrets! Of course you need to plug up a few holes that the secret gave you, but that can be done with PKCE.

    Alternately (or in addition to), with a few additional constraints, you can end up with a profile of OAuth that works perfectly in cases like Mastodon/Pleroma where you can't have developers register for API keys on every instance.

    @aaronpk Is this a step toward your site working with Pleroma?

    Aaron Parecki
    Yeah! I'm debugging with kaniini and needed to share a sample of the JSON I'm sending Pleroma. Totally did not mean to send that to all my followers... patching now...

    @Gargron @cwebber @aaronpk WordPress, twitter, github, medium all have rel-me built in. Google plus had it, but it only shows up on some clients now. For the twitter migration case it will work well, if they set their twitter url to their new mastodon home.

    Aaron Parecki
    The irony of this thread is that Kevin mentioned the wrong account for me at the beginning so I haven't been seeing any of these replies at all.

    Oauth requires application secrets. how else do you expect to get them?
    Aaron Parecki
    What if OAuth didn't require application secrets?

    I followed like 10 remote folks today using my Greasemonkey script that replaces Remote Follow buttons with direct links to my home instance. It saved a bunch of hops and was way better than pasting my username into remote servers.

    Definitely thinking this should be a browser extension.

    Aaron Parecki
    ahh that's awesome, definitely make that a browser extension!

    The more I do it, the cooler I find microcasting on a technical level. The format (I arbitrarily chose) of writing 300 words, recording it, and posting both together makes for accessible, multimedia text on the web, and a podcast app is just as good as a browser for it.

    Aaron Parecki
    hah I never thought of setting a word limit for myself for a microcast, even though I often write them out first!

    Differences in #indieweb readers using microformats or RSS as your feed source
    Aaron Parecki
    This is definitely a problem with the current state of WordPress microformats support. You might notice that your Microformats example was a wordpress site. I've found that non-wordpress sites look way better when following a Microformats feed because you get all the additional properties like multiple photos and checkins. We're working on ways to fix this for WordPress to make it more consistent.

    @aaronpk I wonder whether it will be possible to link it straight to a Stripe form.

    Aaron Parecki
    Not a form inline in the app, but you can definitely link it to a page on your website that has a stripe form!

    Any idea why it hasn’t made it to the extension list explicitly linked to in the W3C spec?
    Aaron Parecki
    In any case, having another consumer deployed will only help make the case to add it to the official registry! Especially when a few podcasts start to publish it too.

    Aaron Parecki
    That’s a good question! I suspect it’s because there weren’t enough examples of publishers and consumers, but I’m having trouble finding a reference to the formal process to get things added to that list.

    Couldn’t find anything either in the spec for rel targets (https://www.w3.org/TR/html50/links.html#linkTypes) or in the micro format lists, to which you are allowed to contribute: http://microformats.org/wiki/existing-rel-values#HTML5_link_type_extensions

    @arebee the goal is for these links to show up “for free” in any player that displays notes (HTML)
    Aaron Parecki
    It's been listed here for ages! http://microformats.org/wiki/existing-rel-values#proposals

    Also I just added it to the list of implementations here http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-payment#Implementations

    Podcast hosts and app makers: Let's make it easier for podcasters to surface donate/pay/membership links in our UIs with a standard semantic way to denote payment URLs in HTML show notes.

    Does such a thing exist already in any useful HTML spec? Maybe an ?
    Aaron Parecki
    Using rel=payment would be great! There's some research and documentation on that here https://indieweb.org/payment

    @danielpunkass Indieweb kids are saying that RSS isn't cool any more! What do I do?

    Aaron Parecki
    RSS works just fine for blogging and podcasts! It's just that it doesn't support the more modern stuff like replies, photos/videos, checkins, etc, so we've moved on to alternate solutions for those!

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.
