rMdes Yay Plume confirmed working for Kirby cms with micropub :) https://rmdes.github.io/plume/
claudinec joined the channel
#
srijan rMdes: thanks for making it work :)
#
[aciccarello] That's great! Testing has been a challenge for Omnibear too. I'm considering building a mini micropub server into the test code so I can write some true e2e tests. But it definitely helps to test against multiple servers.
#
srijan rMdes: re: duplicate webmentions on your site -> one is going via regular webmentions channel, and the other one went via bridgy fed.
#
srijan I've now gated bridgy fed notifications from my site under a flag, and linked it to a new fed.brid.gy syndication target in micropub so that I can control that per post.

[aciccarello] rMdes, FYI, I got a "BadRequestError: Invalid value provided for " `redirect_uri` error when trying to log into my Indiekit server (running beta 28) via Firefox.
#
doesnm [aciccarello]: sound like question for #indiekit channel?
#
[aciccarello] It was plume related. Also I can't access the #indiekit channel from Slack 😢

#
[tantek] already raised this earlier, if folks want a separate indiekit channel, add it to brainstorming on /discuss like we have all other new channels we've created recently to see if there's actually sufficient interest to justify it https://chat.indieweb.org/2026-08-10#t1786384808854500
#
Loqi [preview] [[tantek]] consider adding a channel proposal to https://indieweb.org/discuss#Brainstorming (see that section for other channel proposals in various stages of discussion) to see if there is sufficient interest to be worth creating a separate channel (in thi cas...

#
rMdes [tantek]: I added #indiekit to that /discuss page already but not sure if I added in the right place in the page
#
rMdes [aciccarello]: that's because, to make this work for indiekit I had to modify some core plugins, i'm isolating these changes and will provide a PR to indiekit upstream to see if this can be integrated
#
rMdes I'm going to deploy indiekit origin on my side, so i can test on indiekit upstream without any of my changes to core parts
#
rMdes I provide a docker-compose deploy of my fork if anyones wants to test, my fork has a lot of new plugins and a lot of difference compared to upstream but my plan is to at least propose some of the real improvements I have made along the way to upstream
#
rMdes srijan: my pleasure :) hope you find the extension useful, suggestions to improve welcome =:)

rMdes Indiekit servers running @rmdes/indiekit-endpoint-auth 1.0.0-beta.31 or later support fetching this URL and matching wildcards. Other IndieAuth servers may need to implement redirect URL discovery similarly. https://indieauth.spec.indieweb.org/#redirect-url

WinnerWind i hate how accessibility features are the first thing to disappear when making AI proof sites.
#
WinnerWind every AI workaround i've seen tanks accessibility in some way or another

[tantek] yikes
claudinec and [Sophia] joined the channel
#
gRegor Not sure we need a separate indiekit channel, doesn't seem like it's been overwhelming dev chat.
#
[tantek] same thought, hence my comment on the proposal in https://indieweb.org/discuss#indiekit

#
christof Hi, I've been pointed here from the general #indieweb channel. I'm developing ProFed, an ActivityPub system for professional networking. I use microformats for my profile importer, and in the web UI, and would love to discuss extensions and use cases in that context. Is this the best place for that?
#
doesnm christof: #microformats

#
[capjamesg] doesnm++ thank you for being our channel guide!
#
Loqi doesnm has 1 karma in this channel over the last year (2 in all channels)
#
doesnm not at all
[Al_Abut] joined the channel
#
[tantek] christof this is also a good place for anything ActivityPub specific, plenty of AP devs hangout here like [snarfed] [manton] [pfefferle]
#
christof Very good to know.

#
girlonthemoon hey [capjamesg], just a heads up, when i try to add the feed for your web weaving pod to my audiobookshelf instance, i get a 403 forbidden error
#
girlonthemoon not sure if you're doing any blocking of user agents or anything but i thought you should know
#
girlonthemoon (also not sure if this would've been appropriate for a DM or here, sorry)
#
[capjamesg] girlonthemoon Thank you! I have Cloudflare set up which might be blocking it.
#
girlonthemoon cloudflare always the culprit haha!
#
girlonthemoon i can provide logs if you'd like
#
[capjamesg] I have Cloudflare set up primarily so that it’s harder for people to scrape the audio.
#
[capjamesg] That would be great!
#
girlonthemoon that makes sense
#
girlonthemoon i'll DM you logs
#
[capjamesg] Email is preferred! readers [at] jamesg [dot] blog 🙌
#
girlonthemoon ok!
#
girlonthemoon sent :)

christof BTW.: has anybody ever sucessfully created an individual RSS feed, meaning one, that is tailored for a user, and can only be read with the users credentials? Of course I can implement that, but there's no use, if people can't use it with their RSS readers.
#
doesnm maybe you could put credentials to query params? Not quite safe but can be handled by rss readers
#
christof Yeah, that safety issue is, what kept me from doing that. Even Basic Auth would be be better through HTTPS, but many RSS readers seem to strip that.
#
christof And they don't seem to support e.g. oauth either.
#
[capjamesg] The query parameter implementation is the most interoperable but I do wish there was another way of retrieving authenticated feeds.
#
[capjamesg] I had never thought about basic auth before…
#
christof That's pretty much where I've gotten to before as well. It would just be cool to have e.g. the ProFed timeline in your RSS reader.
ax562 joined the channel
#
srijan Many podcasts have subscriber-only content that use a unique URL. The one I have uses a random id at the end (not a url param, but part of the path).
jjuran joined the channel
#
christof I see, that would be kind of a user specific token. I thought of that. Probably that's the least terrible option. I just have to make sure, that the token only works with the RSS feed, so that a leak keeps the damage contained.
#
srijan and maybe a way to revoke tokens?
#
christof Yes, in the end the whole setup becomes pretty compilcated just to allow the timeline as RSS feed. Probably not the first thing. I'll implement.
#
gRegor Patreon uses the unique RSS feed URL method
#
gRegor I presume it maps to the subscription so if it ends, the RSS stops working
[snarfed] joined the channel
#
[snarfed] yeah private/paid subscriber feeds are pretty common now
