    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

    I’ll be sticking with the IndieWeb and be looking at how to bridge that and Mastodon - there are tools for that and I much prefer to own my own presence online then to just rely on a less centralized version of Twitter. Enables much more plurality in the space

    @eay @_quinnO @waxpancake What's interesting, is that as I read Andy's thread, I could have as easily substituted @microdotblog for Mastodon & said much the same thing. While hooking your own site into it de novo may be a hurdle, for $5/mo the hosted version using your own domain is very simple.

    The same statement was probably made about personal computers and the World Wide Web...cherished by a core group of geeks only to become mainstream years later!

    Like a lot of IndieWeb-related efforts, I applaud the idea behind it, but am skeptical it'll ever find a big, diverse audience. It's generally too complex for non-geeky folks to use with too little value. I care about owning my content and digital preservation—most people don't!

    #1 Query for supported vocabulary

    Aaron Parecki

    As of a few weeks ago, Quill now supports this extension. If the server returns a list of supported vocabulary, Quill disables the links to any interfaces that use unsupported vocabularies. This should help reduce the confusion when micro.blog users use Quill, since now they won't end up on an interface that fails to make a micro.blog post.

    100% related to this article that I'm going to try really hard to turn this into a promo-only account from now on. ("promo" meaning "promoting interesting projects or information"). If you want to engage with me as a person, follow me on Mastodon. (1/5)

    What do people use these days to plan complex, multi-stop personal travel? Are travel agents still a thing? Some fancy new app? Just internet a bunch and book it yourself?

    That said, there has never been a better time to join the #IndieWeb and http://Micro.blog has made it easier than ever before. I can’t recommend it enough.

    The service itself isn’t, but it’s built entirely on top of open standards like RSS, JSON Feed, Webmention, Microformats 2, Micropub, and other #IndieWeb tech. It’s the open web as it’s meant to be!

    The IndieWeb currently also breaks apart the different areas of responsibility in a way that I so far haven’t seen Mastodon do. In the IndieWeb you can have one application for posting content, one for hosting your content and presenting it to the world, a third to read posts etc

    Shoutout to @indiewebcamp #indieweb from @jeckman. Smaller communities like this pushing for an open web. They need help bridging the gap w/ non-technical users. #wcpub

    The link you shared is for Implicit? Implicit does not use client secret. Does this mean IndieAuth is more similar to Implicit than Auth Code but is more secure as the client id has to be redirect uri?
    Aaron Parecki
    Regular OAuth 2.0 also supports the Authorization Code flow with no secret. In fact, many companies recommend Auth Code w/no secret instead of Implicit.

    IndieAuth is like taking Auth Code w/no secret and adding back some layers of security because of the client ID being a URL.

    Got a #IndieAuth question. Since there is no client pre-registration, there is no client secret. Thus during code/access token exchange no client secret is used. Less secure than Authorization Code and more like Implicit perhaps?
    Aaron Parecki
    But, most importantly, the fact that IndieAuth uses a URL for the client ID means that you *do* authenticate the client in the initial Auth Code request, since the redirect URL has to match the domain or be registered. That's an improvement over OAuth with no secret.

    Aaron Parecki
    Without the secret, there is no authentication of the client. PKCE solves this by using essentially an on-the-fly secret safe for use by mobile apps. IndieAuth *could* adopt the PKCE extension as well, tho afaik noone has done that yet.

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.
