Future of the JWT library?

[gvolpe]

Hi @alvaroc1 👋🏽 , hope you don't mind the ping here!

Wanted to reach out and ask if you had any plans to further develop your JWT library? I'd be happy to collaborate if so, already submitted a bug fix and another contribution.

I would completely understand if there's no plan to continue the work too, this is open source after all 😃

Hi @gvolpe, I didn't notice the contributions until just now. They both look great, thanks for the fixes. I merged the first one, but the second requires a fast forward. Can you update it?

I don't have a lot of time to continue working on the library myself at the moment, but i'm happy to review contributions. I know @rlmark is also working on some tweaks to it (the verify function in particular.

Awesome to hear, thanks Alvaro! I updated my branch.

I didn't notice the contributions until just now.

I wasn't notified about you merging one of my contributions either, probably the notifications system on Share Unison doesn't yet support this type of notifications?

Hi @gvolpe! I was actually hoping to ping you about the JWT work! I don't know if you're in the Unison Discord but there's a thread started here about the work ahead. I'd love your thoughts or feature wish-list if you have things you're hoping to use the JWT library for.

Hi @rlmark , I don't have a wish-list for this project in particular, only asking about the overall status before thinking of a fork 😄 I have built an authentication mechanism based on JWT claims that I'm using on a system I'm building, so I'm submitting a few contributions as I progress and come across a few issues.

Unfortunately, I'm unable to participate in that closed conversation. Is there a more open space where that can be shared? Perhaps a ticket sharing a roadmap of ideas? Talking about wish-lists, mine has a Discourse forum for Unison at the top 😁
