    Hi @aaronpk, "oauth-2-simplified" is a breath of fresh air when there are so many ways to do auth. This really simplifies it. I do have a question: Why would i still want to provide my client_secret for server-side when i can do without it to authenticate?

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
