i was just reading up on netlify cms :)

was wondering if with 'github' authentication there is still backend connectivity to netlify required, or your own / external auth server..

I really love the service that Netlify provides! I started using them a couple of months ago and they make it super easy to link a github repo that will be deployed as a site. I definitely recommend it.

“OAuth2 spec is long and complex”.

One of my 20% projects at Google was addressing this very problem. I built an OAuth2 and OpenID-Connect client library for the Web that is written in TypeScript. The library supports web apps, Node.js CLI & Electron based apps.

There are sister projects for Android and iOS as well. Hopefully, OAuth2 complexity will not prevent you from consuming a service going forward.
