OAuth for the Open Web
A little about the challenges of using #OAuth2 in a distributed setting for WordPress, GitLab, Mastodon, and more. Spoiler: it's not all bad news. Let's make this happen!

Absolutely. I was more implying that someone should take this plugin and move it into core as a quick way to get OAuth into WordPress, since the work is already done.
Check out the work done on the IndieAuth plugin: wordpress.org/plugins/indiea…
It also works as authentication for the REST API. IndieAuth has the benefit of not needing to pre-register clients, so it is actually useful in a distributed setting like how WordPress works.

You can use my location tracking app as a replacement, tho it requires you set up your own backend for it. But at least that way you're the only one who can decide to shut it down!

Pretty cool ideas! You can definitely create the group/folder model with the current #indieweb readers. I'd love to add a search feature to Monocle and Aperture too!
Just finished part 3 in my blog post series about #OAuth2 grant types. This one is about when to use the Password Grant. Spoiler: you probably shouldn't. developer.okta.com/blog/2018…
@manton2 *just* posted that you can add custom HTML to the footer now! manton.org/2018/07/micro-blo… so I think you can add a link to a microsub server there now!
Thanks so much to everyone who participated in #IndieWebSummit this year, both in person and remotely! It was really inspiring to see so many people who care about owning their online presence together! #indieweb
Fastest way to find a developer’s email if it’s not listed on their website:
1. Find their GitHub profile
2. `git clone` the most recent repo
3. `git log` and their email is displayed :-)
