Profile hydration 2022-10-26T17:31:44-07:00 https://discuss.coding.social/t/idea-fediverse-profile-ui-component-fed-by-keyoxide-back-end-service/144 Idea: Fediverse Profile UI component fed by Keyoxide back-end service DiscussionForumPosting Arnold Schrijver https://mastodon.social/@humanetech

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.
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 goes, WebFinger could also indirectly give Keyoxide support.
