Web and app developer. Coffee, beer, and running, in any order.
A longstanding inconvenience posting on my site has been selecting myself as the Author for each post. Now the logged-in user’s profile (me) is the default when creating a new post.
I made some changes to my Notes:
I’ve spent some time over the past week working on a proof-of-concept integration of Micropub into Django.
I don’t have anything functional to show for it, but I have a much better understanding of IndieAuth, Micropub, and writing decoupled Django apps.
I canceled my Strava premium membership today. It kept getting more expensive, and the new features mostly didn’t seem worth it.
The final straw was the recent API Agreement changes prohibiting showing “Strava data” to anyone else and “processing” data.
Third-party apps are no longer able to display your Strava activity data on their surfaces to other users.
I’ve long had “integrate with Strava” on the backburner for my website, but now I think I just need to host my activities myself. This feels a lot like when Twitter clamped down on their API.
