IndieWeb post types

I work on Open Banking APIs for a UK credit card provider.

A large reason I see that the data isn't made directly available to the customer is because if the customer were to accidentally leak / lose their own data, the provider (HSBC, Barclays etc) would be liable, not you. That means lots of hefty fines.

You'd also likely be touching some PCI data, so you'd need to be cleared / set up to handle that safely (or having some way to filter it before you received it).

Also, it requires a fair bit of extra setup and the use of certificate-based authentication (MTLS + signing request objects) means that as it currently sits you'd be need one of those, which aren't cheap as they're all EV certs.

Its a shame, because the customer should get their data. But you may be able to work with intermediaries that may provide an interface for that data, who can do the hard work for you, ie https://www.openwrks.com/

Have you by any chance heard of the #IndieWeb movement? We've got a great group of folks who are looking at what it means to #OwnYourData and #BeYourOwnSocialNetwork

I've written about it https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/10/20/indieweb-talk/ and we've got a large wiki too https://indieweb.org/why

Thanks for sharing - I've been wondering about getting it since getting a Switch and may reconsider

Arthur Christmas is such a great Christmas movie - we discovered it maybe four years ago, but it's part of our yearly routine now!

Since setting up the ability to syndicate posts from my website to other sites automagically the other day, I've been manually ticking the boxes in my posting UI, which isn't the best experience.

So I've now got it to automagically syndicate to Twitter any notes (like this one) or interactions such as likes/replies/reposts on Twitter, so folks still on Twitter are able to see the content I'm publishing to my site, too.

I like that idea - automagically parsing the data from a URL is reasonable, and is mostly automatic but a little manual so there's the ability to correct issues (as mentioned in https://aaronparecki.com/2019/12/21/12/ )

Would we also be interested in iCal feed parsing, or just stick with MF2 for now?

This is really amazing - great work on this!

Out of interest, would there be any interest in the ability to syndicate events from our own websites to https://events.indieweb.org so there's a bit less manual process for adding them to the official list?

Aw thank you! It's my last day in Notts today tho so unfortunately won't be able to make it. Hope its good though - did you go see it with work on Thurs or is today your first one?

Also looks like this post doesn't have a valid in-reply-to url!

Could be that your reply is an h-cite maybe? So parsing it isn't happy? Odd as there's definitely a url in the body that references my post so it should be ok

No spoilers:

Just seen Star Wars Episode 9 and damn JJ did it - what a great ending to the series. Expect more when the spoiler embargo lifts.

I'd seen some tweets similar to this and was a bit apprehensive but it was so good. Wanna go see it again!

Interesting - I'll look at giving Granary a go over the next few days and see if it's what I'm looking for

Thanks Chris - I'll look into it as both you and Aaron have recommended it.

As an FYI this post didn't send me a webmention and when sending it manually it said no_link_found - not sure if it's a known issue?
