The dev blog for Justin Duewel-Zahniser's Chapbook poetry sharing web app project. I'm going to post random stuff here that's too big for the dev list and hopefully get conversations going with testers/users.

OpenID Improvements

Okay, one quick refactoring later.  The site is now based on OpenID rather than locked-in accounts.  So, you use an OpenID, you get logged in, a blank account is created for you and you must add a name before proceeding.  That’s pretty much the deal.  The login page now has some guidance on OpenID for anyone not familiar.

You can also add a backup OpenID (or 20).  I will have those authenticate, but for now they just are made available to the account and so aren’t authenticated until you try to use them to login.

Also, congrats to the Heroku team for getting a big round of funding.  I can’t wait to see what they do with the money.  I’m sure it will be awesome.
