I decided to set up a URL shortener on my short domain, aaronpk.com, thanks to some recent discussion in the IndieWeb chat.
I found an open source project that is basically exactly what I would have built if I had built my own: https://polrproject.org/
The installation wasn't seamless, but I'm familiar enough with the tech it's built on so I managed to get it set up. I also made one modification to it, which is that if you type in a short URL that doesn't exist, it redirects to the same path on aaronparecki.com, so that all my regular pages now automatically have a short URL.
This is definitely a lot nicer than my previous solution of adding URLs to a text file. -
Better Default Security for IndieAuth Login Forms
Last year, I posted a JavaScript snippet that I've started using in all my projects that have an IndieAuth login form, which will automatically add the http scheme if you type a plain domain. This is particularly a problem because the iOS keyboard doesn't include the : character in URL mode.continue reading... -
Post-IndieWebCamp hacking continues at the hotel bar! Made a few more minor improvements to Monocle:
• Defaults to "https" when you type in a domain, and if that fails, will fall back to http, rather than the other way around
• Added a logout button
• Added mobile screenshots to the wiki
• Updated the indieauth-client-php library to bubble up things like ssl errors so that apps using the library can report errors better -
Second #IndieWebCamp hack day project: how to quickly get started using an IndieWeb reader.
• start with a blank HTML file
• add a rel=me link to your GitHub profile, and make sure your GitHub profile links back
• add a couple `<link>` tags for indieauth.com
• sign in to https://aperture.p3k.io
• add the `<link>` tag it generates for you
• sign in to an IndieWeb reader!

Marco Arment made some good arguments for keeping podcasting open versus what Spotify and others are trying to do these days. Worth a read: https://marco.org/2019/04/27/overcast-clip-sharing
