Are there any security pitfalls with running an application on two domains at once?
#
[capjamesg]
I have a feature request for my feed reader to work with custom domains.

That's how stream.indieweb.org works. It's actually served by monocle.p3k.io
#
[capjamesg]
Oooh that’s good to know!
#
[capjamesg]
The way I have built it is that all public pages are deactivated unless the hostname matches the main instance.
#

yup. I think the short answer is no, it doesn't add fundamentally new or different security concerns, but it is obviously more effort to make everything work ok. eg cookie-based auth will only work on the domain where the cookie was initially set, etc
#
[capjamesg]
That’s good to know.
#
[capjamesg]
I am using flask-session for auth.

[capjamesg]
Thanks for your help everyone! aaronpk++
