#secret

  • Aaron Parecki

    After today's IndieWebCamp popup session, I built a way to create unlisted posts on my site that require a secret key in the URL in order to view.

    Since all my URLs are more or less sequential, I needed a way to be able to add something to the URL that is unguessable. It was a relatively easy thing to add!

    Try viewing this post without the secret string at the end to see the feature in action: https://aaronparecki.com/2021/06/26/9/MXJEJKW

    Tried finding my updated #secret stats using #mitmproxy but the app crashes due to a bad cert. In the process, I discovered that the app used to be named "Whispr" in development. This is the logs that were sent to bugsnag.com when the app crashed: https://gist.github.com/aaronpk/46e1b3161514ef874019

    It's been fun experimenting with #secret. Three of mine have 100-250 hearts and I only have like 20 friends. I get way more positive and constructive feedback there than on Facebook or Twitter as well!

    My stats from @SecretApp:

    CommentHeartsGiven = 90;
    CommentHeartsReceived = 227;
    CommentsCreated = 20;
    CommentsReceived = 0;
    EmailVerified = 1;
    HeartsGiven = 81;
    HeartsReceived = 588;
    IncomingEdges = 52;
    OutgoingEdges = 29;
    PhoneVerified = 1;
    PostsCreated = 17;
    PostsRead = 1813;
    ReadsReceived = 7298;
    SharedEdges = 21;

    Found this because I had just opened up the XCode console for my phone to debug something else, and realized a bunch of live apps dump debug info there.

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.
