jbcrn carrvo[d] I have code on https://git.jbc.lol/jbcrn/KcIA but it's still in it's early stages soo yeah, but take note that it requires you to add a custom "website" property on the realm (I recommend making a dedicated realm either)
#
jbcrn I updated my Keycloak theme to actually tell me if the client is using IndieAuth via KcIA or standard OIDC

capjamesg jbcrn[d] Can you continue these discussions in #indieweb-dev? This is the channel for talking about the indieweb more broadly / principles / publishing on your website, etc. whereas #indieweb-dev is specifically for discussions related to code.
#
jbcrn oh, yeah i forgot, thanks i'll continue it there

[Al_Abut] [tantek] viewbug looks interesting, like a new incarnation of VSCO. Good rec!

#
[tantek] [Al_Abut] they acquired JPG magazine and nice to see them still around and with good values!
#
[tantek] I was particularly impressed with their about page and their two column TOS which was one of the better TOS presentations I've seen

#
[tantek] Silo skepticism is rational for sure, and certainly backed by the preponderance of evidence. I find the notable exceptions interesting though who have maintained relative independence for say 10y+. E.g. Smugmug (Flickr owner).
#
[tantek] From first glance I’m cautiously optimistic about Viewbug. I’m particularly curious about the possibility of using them for incremental income from photos. Feels like an indieweb-friendly business model

#
[jeremycherfas] I’m with you on incremental income possibilities, but having let Flickr slide in the IG fun, I want to be sure that I am using my own site effectively first, with a subset to Viewbug if I decide to go that route. I have this on my mind for Sunday in Berlin.

#
[tantek] ooh, absolutely down for photo related discussions and hack sessions at IWC Berlin!
#
jeremycherfas Great.

[tantek] [jeremycherfas] in case you want to capture a session idea, I added this section: https://indieweb.org/2025/Berlin#Session_Proposals

#
[aciccarello] c​apjamesg, I made a page with that windows 7 CSS theme https://www.ciccarello.me/sites/
#
[Al_Abut] I hope I can listen in on the photo discussion in Berlin, [tantek] & [jeremycherfas], that sounds fun. I love the idea of “repatriating” 😂
#
[Al_Abut] Oh no way, viewbug’s about page says they’re from San Diego. Anybody have any personal connections? Would love to get them involved in the Dec get-together.
#
[tantek] [Al_Abut] try their main contact info! You never know what will happen and you can link to prior IWC San Diego pages!
#
[Al_Abut] Nice! I’m on it.
#
[tantek] also for Berlin, add yourself to the remote participants section! https://indieweb.org/2025/Berlin#Remote

#
capjamesg [aciccarello]++ Nice!
#
Loqi [aciccarello] has 7 karma in this channel over the last year (25 in all channels)
#
[Al_Abut] Oh this is cool, the second you sign up, they spiced up the usual boring confirmation page with a helpful ebook on how to get your photos into various photo contests, not just theirs. I’m liking their vibe.
