I remember one tweet from Mikeal several years ago when he said that OSS have opened up so many doors and given so many opportunities for him and I will remember him with that, because he opened the door for me too, first by making me a collaborator in request (the Node.js module) and then by connecting me with the CEO of the company that I work for. And note that we never knew each other in person, he did it for someone who is literally on the other side of the world, I think that speaks a lot.

I'm happy that so many people remember him, because this is what a community is all about, and he was very much invested into creating one.

I little bit of background info:

I made this OAuth middleware for NodeJS a few years ago, but it can also act as an OAuth proxy, meaning that you can deploy the NodeJS app on your server and access it from another server written in any programming language.

Here is the example app: https://grant.outofindex.com/

such flow, so grant, ideal for shibe https://github.com/simov/grant

Hi, this one was just to showcase my OAuth express middleware, which in turn uses a code from Mashape's guardian auth proxy.

Currently all of these OAuth flows requires human interaction, at least for the first time. I think the OAuth specs guys are working on a digital signature that will allow multiple provider sign on in future.
