Many open standards can support profile hydration:
|
|
|
|
Ariadne
|
|
: Map an email identifier to supported verified accounts.
|
|
|
|
The IndieWeb
|
|
: Map a webpage with `h-card` to any account. This can pair with other forms of authentication, such as [RelMeAuth](https://microformats.org/wiki/RelMeAuth).
|
|
|
|
WebFinger
|
|
: Map an email-like identifier (an `acct:` URI) to a list of links.
|
|
|
|
vCard
|
|
: Mpload a vCard containing profile information, possibly with "share contact".
|
|
|
|
I think `h-card`-based hydration is the best place to start. We can later add support for more options:
|
|
|
|
- Keyoxide profiles already contain `h-card` microformats, so we get that for free.
|
|
- `h-card` microformats can have `u-key` properties, potentially triggering an Ariadne-based verification of accounts enumerated by the `h-card`.
|
|
- `h-card` can map to vCard4
|
|
|
|
Depending on how [keyoxide-web issue 141](https://codeberg.org/keyoxide/keyoxide-web/issues/141) goes, WebFinger could also indirectly give Keyoxide support.
