by JamesMicropub 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! -
by JamesAdded 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.

by JamesWith 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. 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. -

The Week #31
by James- As I've been public blogging about 🏔Tanzawa I've had more people emailing me, responding to my posts, or DMing me directly about it than any past project. One of the things I still have difficulty talking about succinctly is the IndieWeb, Tanzawa, and how it all fits together. I think I may be getting better at it though.
This week I was explaining the building blocks of the IndieWeb to my internet buddy Frey. My explanation seemed to click as he's added rss to his blog and joined micro.blog!
Each month at BeProud there's a monthly meet-up where employees give presentations and afterwards there's sushi, beer, and chitchatting. It's great fun. When you first join the company, it's tradition for you give a 10-minute self-introduction presentation. The meetup still happens with covid, but remotely over zoom.
As we've grown we realized that newer employees don't have an opportunity to learn about the longer-tenured employees without asking them directly, which is difficult. This week it was my turn to re-introduce myself to the company. This time I was able to speak for 10 minutes in front of half the company without much effort or really thinking too much. Much different than my first time almost 4 years ago.
- I discovered you can use VideoLan to play videos off YouTube. You could probably use this to download videos, but I'm not doing that. I'm just enjoying being able to have a native app play music without all of the bloat and trackers running in the background.
- Kai wrote a post with some tips and tricks in the terminal (Japanese). Improving my fluency in the shell is one of my goals for this year. This week I'm going to try and use some of these.
- Leo's started to recognize when he's wet his diaper and tells us about it. I think this means the days of changing diapers will be coming to an end soon. 🙌🏻
