Indie-config and local storage

Huh, I thought the big reason for indie-config and its iframe hack (instead of just registering handlers for each action like web+reply, web+like) was that the config is not local to a browser!
Yeah, another reason is flexibility – fallback links to Twitter actions, choosing the actions that are available… But is all that really necessary?
I still think that simply registering web+reply, web+like, etc. handlers would’ve been better.

Pondering the association between Cypro and depression. Think I need an #indieweb mood tracking solution.
I don’t know if you’ve seen aaronparecki.com/health, but it’s a good example of this kind of oversharing :)

it is (genuinely) fun to have so many German- and Russian-speaking users to challenge your expectations of character encodings

It is not about tarballs, but about derived work. And if a distribution is a derived work, that is what the dispute is about. The GPL is about freedom, but NOT freedom of the developer. The developer doesn't matter in the view of the GPL. It is all about the freedom of the user. It tries to protect the user from proprietary software; if you release a software under a permissive license one could use it to write proprietary software. Most people I know think that the GPL is about the freedom of use for your …
That’s what I’m asking – a distribution is essentially just a tarball – why the hell does a distribution count as a derived work? ‽ ¿!‽W H Y ‽?!‽?
I know that “user freedom” thing. I see how it might appeal to developers, especially when writing apps for end users. Disallowing proprietary software is a cool idea, but not at the cost of infecting permissively licensed software!

Thanks, I’ve been looking at remoteStorage too… It’s exactly what I want as far as the user bringing their own storage, but it appears to be 1) file system-y and 2) geared mainly toward client-side javascript apps. Ideally I’d find something that worked more like a document DB and had either an HTTP API or Python support.
remoteStorage is an HTTP API! The only way it’s browser-oriented is the OAuth implicit grant, which returns the access token in the #... fragment of the URL.
Yeah, it’s unfortunate that the more document-y things like hood.ie are mostly focused on providing a backend to frontend developers, not bring-your-own-storage.
But I have an idea! CouchDB (or pouchdb-server, same thing but in Node) is pretty much the HTTP-based document DB. It’s great. All we need is a way to discover a user’s CouchDB instance (a link rel) and a way to authenticate to it using IndieAuth.
P.S. huh, Bridgy Publish inserts the Twitter username into replies automatically?

Would like to chat to people behind wifi login at Tebay Services. It rejected every fake email I tried. What is their validation regex?!
Maybe that’s not a regex, but an actual check that tries to connect to the SMTP server?
