Hi,

Are there any plans for releasing an OAuth authorization endpoint that is suitable for desktop or open-source apps?

The current flow isn't really applicable, because the secret key would have to be embedded in the app and would therefore be susceptible to discovery be a persistent user. Twitter/Google etc. already have these flows and I think they're standardised - are you planning to roll one out here?

Thanks,
Simon
