This is the source code for the What's my ID app, which is live @ http://xyx-pau.herokuapp.com.

I made this as an excercise for myself to try out the App.net API but the code is working so perhaps it will help someone else to find their way around and make something cool.

To test out the app on your dev machine you would need:

• pip, to install the packages in requirements.txt
• virtualenv, to make sure you have a neat little package
• foreman is handy to set the environment variables the app uses

The installation steps are:

1. create a project dir and then a virtual env
2. clone this repo into your virtualenv
3. pip install -r requirements.txt
4. create a .env file, see below
5. start your app with foreman start

Your .env file should look something like this:

CLIENT_ID=[your app.net app client id]
CLIENT_SECRET=[your app.net app secret]
REDIRECT_URL=http://127.0.0.1:5000/oauth/complete # default local host:port
ANALYTICS_ACCOUNT='' # your analytics id if needed; optional
SECRET_KEY='' # a random secret key for your session cookies
DEBUG=True # set this to false (or do not set it) for production

This is code slapped together in a few spare hours so please don't interpret this as best practice. Actual production code you would take seriously would need a bit more work.

But.. it works and it's nice and compact so go and have a play with it. Do let me know when you find nasty bugs or feel i could have done stuff better/cleaner i'd like to learn as well!

Want keep in touch? Follow me on App.net, i'm @tijs there.
