  • Haha this is exactly me. That habit of losing the knowledge rapidly post investigation is something I'm trying to break, and that's part of the reason I banged out this blog post immediately after my itch was satisfied.

    The "I have to tell people about this NOW" vibe also carried me through completing my website (just so I could publish this blog post)

  • Hey Thanks for reading, and I'm glad you found it interesting.

    To my understanding, Webfinger provides a standard API for discovering the user profile details no matter the software running on the node.

    For example,

     
        
    $ curl https://programming.dev/.well-known/webfinger\?resource\=acct:snowe@programming.dev | jq
    {
      "subject": "acct:snowe@programming.dev",
      "links": [
        {
          "rel": "http://webfinger.net/rel/profile-page",
          "type": "text/html",
          "href": "https://programming.dev/u/snowe"
        },
        {
          "rel": "self",
          "type": "application/activity+json",
          "href": "https://programming.dev/u/snowe",
          "properties": {
            "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#type": "Person"
          }
        }
      ]
    }
    
      

  • Glad you liked it! Thanks for reading ❤️
