Still thinking about a clean way to set up private messaging using XMPP and my personal site. The quickest answer is to have some sort of relay that can take in requests when authenticated from IndieAuth and use that to create an ‘stub’ identity whose conversation can be held with me. That’s mainly for people who don’t have a XMPP account to chat with. Otherwise, I think I can just show my address.
One thing I’ll give the #ActivityPub space, it’s considerably faster to “get started” in it than the #IndieWeb just from your phone - for free. Portability is like 70% of the way there but it’s there.
Heydon keeps on producing more caustically funny videos that are made for me. After the last one about progressive enhancement, this one is about the indie web.
This is the story of the birth of the web, its loss of innocence, its decline, and what we can do to make it a bit less gross.
This is precisely what IndieAuth aims to do. And it’s literally something any service can implement today because it’s based on OAuth2 (y’all use this every day) https://twitter.com/arcalinea/status/1359686548430614531. It’s kinda amazing (and a lot simpler than the stuff the CredWeb is cranking out tbh)
It’s far too cold to even consider buying a barbecue set. But it’s a good time to think about reclaiming the web.
geewiz.devOkay, time to make some changes to Koype and indieweb-elixir
so I can get my IndieAuth implementation up to the latest spec. I might also stamp it somehow in the code-base so I can make these deltas a lot easier. Going to be following https://aaronparecki.com/2020/12/03/1/indieauth-2020 from head to toe.
Going to make this into a small series of posts with the commits linked in-line!
I also think the logic in https://git.jacky.wtf/indieweb/koype/src/branch/develop/web/controllers/media_controller.ex is causing all of the images on my site to load very slowly. It’s like two network requests every single time. I think I’ll rewrite it such that it’s a bunch of 301s to the underlying image URL. I might have to reconsider that soon because I do want to eventually adapt the locations of some images to be mirrored on things like Dat and IPFS. Might not need to do that since they - more or less - do a mhtml download of pages.
I just recently found out Known is still under development. I always did like it as blogging, micro-blogging, Indieweb compatible CMS. I've just setup a new instance and linked it to Micro.blog.
stream.glenn.coffeeChecking out all of the people who’ve publicly joined the online chat community for the IndieWeb at https://indieweb.org/chat-names#Nicknames. Looking for some slight inspo. Down to see other sites. Big requirement is mobile-first design tbh.

Micropublish now supports the proposed Micropub extension for Channels. If your server’s endpoint responds to ?q=channel
, or your config has a channel
property, you can use the new field.
While my current site doesn’t use channels, I’ve designed page management in my new, work-in-progress server to use the new proposal.
Well it looks like I've now got refresh tokens working nicely on my #IndieAuth server - expect a write up tomorrow!
