Like Netflix I also use my own private internal measurement that I only occasionally release for stats and yesterday I had 87,000,000,000 views on my website. https://buff.ly/30HVBXk

I literally did this for my 30th birthday, only it was a $1000 budget because I'm cheap and was a multi-city spy-themed scavenger hunt on public transit. There was a rooftop message only readable from the aerial tram, and a secret karaoke bus. We had tacos.

nice! i’m sure you learn stuff from work that you can utilize for your personal.

so far it's been mostly the other way around, but mainly because I did a big push on my personal channel while on PTO in December 😄 which paid off cause I went from 200 to 1500 subscribers in like 7 weeks 🎉

What do you think would be fragile about my approach? Giving the client control over the random value?

by "fragile" I mean things like vulnerable to popup blockers, popups are bad UX on mobile browsers, etc.

That's interesting. After a quick review, it does seem pretty similar. Why the timeout polling instead of long polling? Does the spec dictate what back-channel you send the user to?

The spec has a way the AS can provide a URL that the user should visit to the app. So the app has to get the user to that URL somehow, doesn't matter how, and doesn't matter what that URL is.

Why not open a new tab for interacting with the auth server, while simultaneously opening a back channel request in the original session? Once the user has authenticated/authorized from the new tab, the back channel request would resolve. 2/

There's also a new draft, Pushed Authorization Requests, which moves a bunch of the fragile bits out of the front channel. Similar but slightly different goal. https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-lodderstedt-oauth-par-00.html

That's basically what the Device Flow is, except manual. You certainly could do that. I suspect it would be fragile at best though, and wouldn't work well in mobile browsers.

Google finally realizes it created a trashfire. They should just support Microformats 2, much easier to construct and therefore use. https://twitter.com/googlewmc/status/1219565763759165441

A Thing That Annoys Me: When a website *has* English translation/text, but because I'm in Germany, I'm only offered the German version, with no chance to switch language. Fix this, engineers!

I rode a Lime scooter in Prague once and for the next month all the emails I got from Lime were in Czech

#IndieWeb more a philosophy for the web rather than a businesses. Though many companies (including mine) embrace these values.

phrase you want is "small business"

Also like @bryce idea of "real business"

no apology necessary, we’re all in this together!

I’m digging into this stuff so that others don’t have to.

Ideally we can add an endpoint to something like IndieKit which is easily self hostable. Everything is a little piecemeal right now.

For sure, I'd love to see that.

I'm actually gonna be in Vancouver a couple times in the near future, it'd be great to meet up and chat more about this in person!

more thinking about what to include in the template. I can update to IndieLogin, so at least people can link Twitter and Github to different sites.

Single-file selfauth looks interesting https://indieweb.org/selfauth -- hmm, but not a token endpoint

I apologize for the horrible confusion due to how I named these, but indielogin.com is not a replacement for indieauth.com from a user's point of view, only from the PoV of a website trying to authenticate users.

@aaronpk is Github the only "external" IndieAuth supported provider right now? Other than email / pgp?

I temporarily edit my Github profile link for different sites right now, which is not ideal.

If you don't need Micropub support then your best bet is to remove the authorization_endpoint link so that the wiki will let you use any of its own supported options including Twitter.

If you do need Micropub support, then you're stuck with the current situation.

The wiki actually uses https://indielogin.com when you log in, which supports GitHub as well as Twitter and some other options.

If your site says to use indieauth.com then yes, GitHub is the only external authentication provider supported by indieauth.com.

Yeah, theoretically @patdryburgh & I ran some "official" events a couple of times, but going to keep it casual for now.

More about writing & info management than tools although I will demo my Jekyll + IndieKit template https://github.com/bmann/so-simple-indieweb

Doesn't need to be an "official" event to post there at all! As long as it's vaguely IndieWeb adjacent, that's a great place to post it so more people can find it!
