GWG Did Micropub change syndicate-to to mp-?
#
aaronpk that's been stable for a long time now

#
aaronpk I just found some old notes from pre-2014 where the dev copy of indieauth.com was running on my laptop as "relmeauth.dev" ??
#
snarfed oh man full circle
#
aaronpk I think I figured out how I got in this situation
#
aaronpk I started with relmeauth.dev, and decided I didn't like that name as a domain name, so chose something "friendlier", "indieauth.com"
#
aaronpk I made the abstraction of the relmeauth bit as close to OAuth as I could, because that was an established thing and I wanted to create as few new things as possible
#
aaronpk then because that API happened to look a lot like OAuth, I realized it would make sense to allow your domain to delegate to a provider you choose and why not also follow that same API
#
aaronpk and since none of this requires pre-existing relationships since these are all "public clients" in OAuth terms, it was possible for the existing service to serve both roles
#
aaronpk arguably the IndieAuth spec used by Micropub should not have been called IndieAuth, since the precedent was set for "IndieAuth" to be used as just the name of the relmeauth abstraction service. but here we are.
#
snarfed organic emergent evolution is often good for code specs if it's managed right...
#
snarfed ...but yeah the refactoring sometimes extends beyond just code or spec details :P
