#2The most confusing thing to me about this page was the changing provider names. I was looking at the page and could tell that something was changing but it took me about 15 seconds to figure out what it was.

#3I wish this existed before. For node.js stacks that support connect/express based middleware, we wrote oauth-flow instead

The idea is to point the user to your oauth-flow route and they will complete the oauth flow. your middleware will then be called with req.oauth containing all received oauth credentials and the url containing all the original parameters.

Hah.. I actually read this comment first and I was STILL just staring at my screen completely dumfounded. I'd see the little animation on the right update, and then something else would change. It was mystifying.

#5The little comic programmer guy is hilarious. And actually, as someone who's fooling around with oauth right now, this looks very appealing.
But yeah, the changing provider names might not be a good idea. Or at least decrease the interval.

yes it's maybe more a kind of ASK HN if this API could interest people as we are finalizing it

I decreased the interval to 10s.

#9Comments on the animated UI aside, as someone who recently pulled their hair out trying to get StackOverflow oauth working, a simple solution would be extremely welcome.
My scalp shall thank you!

Ah, cool. I'm kind of interested in how you work on the security aspects of it (will you give guidance on how to configure your client info for the various APIs (what do I fill in for all of the different URIs in my Facebook app config?), as well as more complicated scenarios (storing tokens in DB, associating tokens to accounts, etc.)
