client ID is how a website or web app identifies itself in IndieAuth and OAuth.
To avoid the need for pre-registration or dynamic registration of clients in IndieAuth, IndieAuth uses a URL to identify clients. Other projects have adopted this technique for similar reasons:
- Obligator - an open-source OpenID Connect Provider, running at https://lastlogin.io (docs)
- Home Assistant - an open-source home automation system (docs)
