I really like the Indie Web stuff, and I think that their idea of using one's own website as a login is a great one. The problem is that one actually ends up using some third-party website (e.g. github.com) to run authentication for one — and generally via a fourth (indieauth.com). Adding two extraneous parties to an authentication seems pretty extraneous to me: rather, it'd be a good idea just to specify a way to run web sign-in entirely from one's own site.

The rel=me thing through IndieAuth.com is merely a trick to get started quickly, by relying on existing identity providers. http://indieauth.net/ http://indieauth.net/
