Great point on being compatible with passport.js! To ensure our OAuth2
client SDKs do work against node.js (w/ passport.js), how about we build a
Node.js based version of our "Shoot-n-Share backend" ([1]), that is
protected by Passport.js?

It could be a (simple) a 'clone' of our java version. I think for Luke, our
Node.js pro, it would be a fairly simple task :)

On the client side, the Android/iOS versions of Shoot-n-Share would simply
offer a new upload target for Passport.js, instead of 'just' FB,
Google-Drive and Keycloak.

That way we will also learn how much Passport.js is actually different,
similar to what we learned on how Google/FB are different ;-)

Another interesting aspect of this is that, once we are ready to release
our OAuth2 SDKs, it would be awesome to actually ship a node.js based demo
as well, instead of just a Java-based backend demo. That would clearly
show, our client libs are working across different backend technologies.

Any thoughts?
