• πŸ”— A Teenager Has Remade Myspace and Everyone Is Loving It

    Coded entirely by 18-year-old An, 'SpaceHey' harnesses nostalgia and a distaste for modern social media to bring the Old Internet back from the dead.
    Happy to see SpaceHey getting more users. I don't use it, but the world needs more social places online where you aren't you're free to customize it to your heart's content.

  • I've noticed some errors when Feedly parses my Tanzawa RSS feed. Namely that it doesn't show any content when I include an image. I have no idea why it's stripping all text from the posts.

    Other fixes to the RSS feed include removing a / from the guid and setting the permalink to false, since the guid was not a url. As the guid change, most reads will show old posts as new - sorry about that.

    This mostly a test post to see if adding titles for my statuses (the first 128 characters of plain text) will make Feedly parse properly when I include an image.

    IfΒ  this doesn't work, I have a theory that Feedly may not like <figure> tags, so I may try to rewrite my html content to be simpler for rss feeds.

  • Micropub is going to be a larger task than anticipated. As such I think I'll roll it out incrementally, expanding the capabilities of the micropub endpoint as Tanzawa can support them natively.

    Today I managed to get my first post from Quill to Tanzawa!

    A first post to Tanzawa originating outside of Tanzawa!


  • Added support for verifying and revoking tokens. One thing I like about API development vs regular page/form development is the inputs and outputs are clearly defined. You don't need to worry about things like layout or looks. It's either valid or it's not.
  • With the basic indie auth login flow working, the next couple of days will be dedicated of fully fleshing out apis to support revoking tokens (e.g. on logout ) and checking token validity.Β  I added basic tests for the authentication -> access token call today, so I can be confident that while I make these changes, I won't break anything.

    I also added Bearer token based authentication today, which I've plugged into my micropub endpoint stub. My goal is to have the full indieauth/micropub api ready for release by Friday, at least on a basic level.

    Importing data from OwnYourSwarm like I want will require a few more models and planning because posts will need to support geo-coordinates and so forth.
