zkochan/sitegate repository overview

⁠SiteGate

SiteGate is a Node.js Express website that handles the user sign in/up processes. SiteGate allows to create a user account either through registration with an email or using an OAuth provider like Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Usage example: https://github.com/sitegate/client-example⁠

⁠Why is it better than the alternatives?

• It consists of several independent microservices.
• It supports internationalization. Currently it's only in English but will have Ukrainian, Hungarian, German and Russian translations of the interface soon.
• It is designed as a standalone application with its own data storage, so updates will be easier.
• It is also an OAuth2 server.

⁠What are the microservices it consists of?

• SiteGate Session⁠
• SiteGate User⁠
• SiteGate Client⁠
• SiteGate OAuth⁠
• SiteGate Mailer⁠

⁠What does it consist of?
