Ship WebAuthn registration and login on the API layer, now to update the frontend, documentation, and landing page so people know how to use it #simpleotp
Struggling with signature verification issues for webauthn tests and spent all day trying to figure it out. Think I must be signing the wrong data or similar. Trying to get this done correctly so I can launch passkey support #simpleotp
Been silent on simpleotp.com for a bit because I was stuck on a testing issue, but finally figured out a way to way to test webauthn by patching the credential data! #simpleotp
Discover and fix webauthn-related security hole during testing. Now including a session ID with each request to prevent malicious users from mucking with other people's credentials #simpleotp
Finished the webauthn registration endpoint and checked to see that it's working. Should have webauthn support live for simpleotp.com by some time next week! #simpleotp

Wire up "replacement auth method" field to be able to support WebAuthn/passkeys (still WIP) #simpleotp
Update the admin dashboard and API to include fields to be used for WebAuthn/FIDO2 (not yet functional) #simpleotp
Start investigating adding "passkeys" support to Simple OTP because a fellow indiehacker is asking for it and it's becoming more popular anyway. Found a nice open source library that should work! #simpleotp

Added a gradient to the buy button (everyone loves gradients, right?) and added dashboard screenshots. Thanks for the feedback @aelew_ #simpleotp

Got a nice response from the person who purchased simpleotp.com last night #simpleotp
Make a sale from a completely random person now that I changed Simple OTP to be "one time payment, source code included" - I'm a believer in the one time payment model now, feeling inspired by @marc_louvion and @dhh who did the same #simpleotp
Updated the product for simpleotp.com to be a one-time payment for source code access, inspired by @dhh and the Once movement. Check it out! #simpleotp
Make a black friday sale for simpleotp.com because @MrNick_Buzz was nice enough to purchase #simpleotp
Fix URL encoding issue that caused people with + signs in their email to be unable to checkout #simpleotp #rmflags
Test and deploy new encryption algorithm to production #simpleotp
Phone call with fellow startup founder to talk about auth pain points. Will use his feedback to improve simpleotp.com #simpleotp
