We might be a good fit. At Anvil Research we need help with documentation, blog posts, tutorials, and user guides for Anvil Connect. It's an open source identity hub built with Node: https://github.com/anvilresearch&#x2

In fact, unlike previous OpenID protocols, OpenID Connect is a profile of OAuth 2.0. The conflation of authorization with authentication is an accident and a mistake. They are still quite separate concepts. Authentication is about verifying

Understood, and I'm glad to live and let live in general, but this one is too close in subject matter to my own work and may eventually lead to confusion about who's doing what. That seems like a reasonable cause for concern.

This is an interesting looking project, but I have to say I'm not crazy about the author's use of the name Anvil. I've owned the domain anvil.io going back several years, I've been actively using variations on the name A

This may not be any indication. A Firebase competitor named GoInstant was bought by Salesforce, used to build a few things internally at that company, and very recently shut down and the team integrated into the parent company. Any outsider
