Nudgsicle Authentication

Nudgsicle is coming along - slowly but surely. It’s amazing to me how much of a slog it is - even for someone like me who has integrated OAuth, OpenID Connect, etc. - to build authentication for an application. Even with services like Amazon Cognito.

Fun fact: did you know that “Sign in with Slack” and “Add to Slack” are two different things that shall not be combined?

Nudgsicle Development Environment

As part of my work on Nudgsicle, I’ve created a pretty neat development environment where I can work locally with a similar architecture to the production environment, which includes Lambda, an S3 website, etc. One of the main pieces that makes it work is a little AWS Lambda Function URL emulating dev server that I wrote. You can see the code in this gist. Let me know what you think!

Nudgsicle and pr-reminders

I’ve reached a major milestone with Nudgsicle - the product I’m working on to help with timely code review. Specifically, I and some colleagues released the core backend functionality that will power it as an open source project.
