  • What are some tutorials that Godot really needs?
    2 projects | /r/godot | 1 Oct 2022
    While I've been peripherally present in the game industry through my activity here and on GitHub as a Godot contributor, the vast majority of my time as a developer for the past 5 and a half years has been in web development (largely server/database with some frontend) so take that as you will. In that time, I've seen, worked in, and outgrown several project architectures. At this point, I think I've gotten to know the one that works the best, in part because while it has worked for me, it's also the same one that Microsoft employs to maintain its high-profile open-source projects (which are orders of magnitude more complex than anything I've come up with). A good example is the Orchard Core CMS.
  • Is using next-auth instead of IdentityServer a bad idea?

    If you do want a .NET IdP then you could look into OpenIddict but will require some hands on work, at a minimum authorisation controllers. If you're looking for something more out of the box OrchardCore's OpenId module might be better for you.
