A highlight from IndieWebCamp San Diego:



Them: “you can scroll if you want to”

Me: “you can leave your friends behind”

Some more context: this is specifically for Ticketing. I’m testing from staging.gregorlove.com and sending tickets to wpdev.gwg.us.

In my mind, sending a ticket to someone is analogous to an IndieAuth Client redeeming an authorization_code — both an authorization_code and a ticket are redeemed for an access token. As a result, my implementation for generating the access token hasn’t changed for the Ticketing flow so far. My access token response includes a me property of staging.gregorlove.com.

David’s implementation is apparently expecting that me property to be wpdev.gwg.us so he can identify which user the token can be used on behalf of (thinking specifically of multi-user environments like WordPress).

It feels odd to me to return someone else’s URL in the me property. It seems like the initial subject sent with the ticket should be verified by the recipient and used to determine the user on the site before redeeming the ticket. If a valid user isn’t identified, it should return an error instead of trying to redeem the ticket.

I think the main use for the me property in the Ticketing flow, so far, is as a reminder which site the access token can be used for. It might be displayed in an admin interface, for example.

Indiewebifying a WordPress Site – 2023 Edition - December 19, 2023

So for some reason I just stumbled upon webrings and I think I'm in love :blobcathearteyes::blog::website: I'm finding so many blogs and following their RSS feeds.

@eloquence Hey I have a fun lil website I work on with my music and art and links to many other fun indie sites!

I don’t mind flying under the radar. There are benefits for a product to start small and grow slowly. But I’m still kind of puzzled why Micro.blog is rarely mentioned when articles talk about platforms that support the fediverse. We first added ActivityPub in 2018. Must be doing something wrong.

Flipboard is rolling out the first phase of joining the fediverse:

In this first phase we are partnering with 27 publishers and creators to help them federate their Flipboard accounts and gather feedback. This includes a range of publishers covering global news, tech, music, gaming, travel and science as well as a few content creators like Erin Brockovich and Jefferson Graham.

I tested following one of these accounts in Micro.blog and it’s working pretty well.

Then I'll jump in. BuffaloResearch.com, a portal for local history & genealogy in #Buffalo, NY, is celebrating its 30th birthday this month, curated by yours truly for 27 of those years. No ads.

Hey #IndieWeb, have you ever got tired of the people who don't attribute or give credits to using your content?

Well, I was doing a bit of #research on how to fight against the people who uses your #creative work for themselves to earn benefits. And realized it would be useful for our Indieweb community too, as we do need to protect our creative works, from getting #Stolen

Hope this would be useful for your indie journey

📝 New Post: My Year In Beer 2023 🍻

I had to jack this out of the Untappd website. Turned out better than expected.

Used eleventy-plugin-bundle for the custom styles.

A common refrain is that the web is _turning into_ garbage because of LLMs.

But that's not really true. It's just that the garbage is _drowning out_ everything else, especially in search engines that themselves have decided to go into the garbage generation business.

What can we do? We can promote the #IndieWeb right here. Highlight the good, perhaps obscure websites and blogs you come across, especially the ones that aren't loaded with ads & trackers.

The web is still full of awesomeness.

It's been a shockingly long time since I did anything with my website (don't go look— it's embarrassing). Hosting fees are coming up for renewal soon, and I'm starting to think about cost effective ways to serve sites, along with what else I might use a server for...

Anyone have any recommendations for hosts?

heads up for fellow #indieweb kids who have gotten into the habit of putting alt text on posts on Mastodon and want an easy way to copy and paste alt text to their own sites without having to go into the developer console: this rules and is saving my life rn

Super cool. I’d love to have an app that lets me write entries and then have them posted to my website as private posts. Micropub for publishing of course :) #IndieWeb https://toot.cafe/@chartier/111603123372616812
