    #226 Make IndieAuth Plugin a Dependency to Use This Plugin

    Aaron Parecki
    To clarify, the idea is to simplify this plugin by making it rely on the IndieAuth plugin for access token generation and verification? Essentially this plugin would assume the IndieAuth plugin exists and use it to verify access tokens in the requests?

    if the IndieAuth plugin has the ability to then rely on remote endpoints like indieauth.com (although I still don't understand why you'd want to do that), this plugin wouldn't even see the difference right? Assuming this plugin asks the IndieAuth plugin to verify access tokens, it's up to the IndieAuth plugin to decide how to verify them whether that's it checking the local database or asking a remote token endpoint.

    That seems like the best of both worlds and would simplify this plugin a lot.

    I would also like to emphasize that my personal interest in this is getting more people to install the IndieAuth plugin instead of relying on indieauth.com. It's easier to tell someone to install two plugins than it is to tell them how to set up rel=me links on their home page in order to use IndieAuth.com. Also I am planning on eventually shutting that service down.

    Hey @Linode why do you have so many ad trackers on your *login* domain? Of all places that's where you want to use as little 3rd party JS as possible!

    Visiting login.linode.com loads trackers from Facebook, Doubleclick, Impact Radius, Oktopost, Linkedin, Google Ads, Bing

    That’s surprising and concerning. Was considering it for a website (due to its attractive pricing)...

    It's very strange. I've been using them for 10+ years and have been extremely happy with the service, so this is confusing to me.

    7/ Implement notifications (ideally both email and phone push notifications) for every critical operation in the account lifecycle (email change, password reset, turn off second-factor, account linking)

    If you're looking at new camera announcements and just reacting to the K count, you're not looking hard enough.
    Honestly this kills me about camera discourse. The K-war isn't what actually matters. There is no "perfect resolution" and if you took "12K" from the BMD announcement
    Aaron Parecki
    Totally. tbh it reminds me of the megapixel wars of digital cameras 20 years ago.
