Will you host backend API to support LinkedIn?

Open deepakaggarwal7 opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Several providers like Linked, Instagram (usually after getting acquired :D) have stopped their JS SDK support. The only way to interact with them is through having a handshake via server call. React is a browser application and cannot run the authentication flow (that's not supported by providers. period).

A workaround is that a very simple OAuth handshake backend Api to do run the backend-only flow. However, that means you would need to host that as a server component. Would you be willing to do that in favor of having more login providers? I am posting this thread to see the interest level and whether the effort of making that backend complementing component is worth it.
