mastodon 4.3.4Open protocol for per-user storage: Webfinger + OAuth + CORS + REST. Works great with unhosted web apps.
There is a new app for Nextcloud, which adds remoteStorage support to your instance, so you can use any RS-enabled app with it:
https://github.com/jonocodes/nextcloud-remotestorage
If you run a Nextcloud server, any and all testing and feedback would be much appreciated by the author!
remoteStorage.js 2.0.0-beta.10 released:
https://github.com/remotestorage/remotestorage.js/releases/tag/v2.0.0-beta.10
All app authors are encouraged to upgrade to this latest release.
The webfinger.js codebase has been modernized and prepared for more improvements by @slvrbckt@kosmos.social with his latest release:
https://github.com/silverbucket/webfinger.js/releases/tag/v2.8.0
The next release will include a security fix for developers wanting to use it directly on servers (instead of in browsers).
