That's why I'd whitelist my own site. And the only person who that would fail for is me because I'm the only person who can post to my own site. :)
- girvo 13y agoOut of curiosity, how is Persona for this use-case?
- tommorris 13y agoWorks great. I chose it because (a) I couldn't be arsed to write a username/password setup and (b) using things like Facebook/Twitter requires an API key and I can't be bothered. Optimizing for laziness, Persona sort of won out.
- girvo 13y agoThat's exactly what I was hoping to hear. I often build one-off web applications (server-side rendered, not JS-filled stuff unless its needed heh) and I hate handling the user/pass setup and flow. Cool to know that Persona will work well for that sort of thing, cheers!
- liviu 13y agoYeah, sure.. what about the twitter button from articles or jQuery library included in your pages?
- tommorris 13y agoThe jQuery is so I can progressively enhance the post form. Which you can't see unless you are me. And the Twitter button doesn't use JavaScript. Very much intentionally. Also if you think I'm being hypocritical by using JavaScript a tiny amount on my site while also decrying it's overuse, then you've failed at reading comprehension.
- liviu 13y agoSo, you admit that you are loading a huge javascript library even if you visitors don't need it. And you tell others that their browser loads lots of unneeded/unwanted scripts? Are you serious?
- tommorris 13y agoNo, I'm both a lazy and fallible human being who hasn't gotten around to fixing it. I'm not exempting myself from my own critique.
