Hi, I'm Aaron, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)
I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.

Found my todo list for 2026 https://kylegabriel.com/projects/2020/06/automated-hydroponic-system-build.html -
TIL about UIScreenshotService which enables iOS apps to provide a high res PDF screenshot of the app content when the user uses the system screenshot action! Chrome uses this to give a full export of the page!

I'm impressed, Cathay Pacific transferred my vegetarian meal request to the new flight they moved me to after the incoming flight was late and missed the connection. Normally airlines say oh well you didn't reserve the meal 72 hours before the flight.

Happy final Daylight Savings Time Eve to all our friends in British Columbia! I hope we can join you on the other side soon!
How Does This Work?
Would you like to use your own domain to be part of the Fediverse? Rather than finding an existing Mastodon instance to join, you can turn your own website into an ActivityPub profile like this one! Some of these options are more complicated than others, but the links below will get you started in the right direction.
- Micro.blog is a fully-hosted service you can run on a custom domain or subdomain, and provides ActivityPub integration out of the box.
- Bridgy Fed converts your existing website to ActivityPub using Webmention, h-entry and Atom.
- Install a plugin for your WordPress or Drupal website.
- Nautilus is an open-source proxy server you can run independently from your website.
- You can self-host a single-user instance of ActivityPub-compatible software like microblog.pub, WriteFreely, or Mastodon.
If you want to go full DIY, you can implement ActivityPub into your own website! I started by following Eugen's guide here.
