[mattl]

See #36

We'd do something similar for IndieAuth. IndieAuth lets you enter a personal website URL like https://mat.tl as your login. Links to other platforms in your website's code will identify you with other services.

For example, I have <link rel="me" href="https://github.com/mattl" /> on my website, which redirects me to GitHub for logins. I could also be redirected to my Libre.fm profile if support was added.

@foocorp/beta-testers Do you have a personal website? Does it support IndieAuth?

Test your own site here: https://indiewebify.me/validate-rel-me/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmat.tl%2F

Note that this describes RelMeAuth, which is related to but distinct from IndieAuth, and is much more difficult for client operators (i.e. login consumers) to support. True IndieAuth requires a bit more setup, and unfortunately the documentation around this is super confusing to newcomers.
