database integration

[romanodev]

I just released an App to Heroku and I am exploring wwwwhisper. I noted that users' emails need to be in the list. I was wondering if there is an plan with integrating this with external databases? Basically, I would like the users to sign up.

Rather not, wwwhisper is inherently an email based authorization layer. It initially used ozilla Persona, but after Persona was discontinued it has own email verification. wwwhisper is mostly used for simple applications that do not have advanced user management needs, or for more advanced application in development stage, if you want to focus on core application functions first, and add proper application-specific user management later.

Much more sophisticated user-management as a service solutions exist (for example https://developer.okta.com/), but there are no plans to evolve wwwhisper in this direction.
