Nice, useful API for front-end authentication
From 3 comments
This is a very nice solution and API for the front-end. It took me a couple part-time months to put together a similar (not modularized) solution for a rewrite of Plunker. There…
filearts on HNI really wish this had been around a month ago. I guess I learned a lot about angular by building it myself.
JonnieCache on HNWere was this a month ago. Had to do this for Play!, great work.

Twitter login redirect did not work

I tried logging in with Twitter and wasn't redirected back to your app, so I wasn't able to log in. (Latest Chrome on OSX)

Documentation lacks guidance on validation and errors
From 2 comments
This is very helpful. How about handling validation and errors (e.g. unique account)?

Support for Python and non-Angular frameworks such as React
From 2 comments
This is a very, very nice project -- almost enough to pull me back from ReactJS back to AngularJS. Almost. One question: they say it can be adapted to any Oauth1 or 2 provider,…
eric_bullington on HNHow easy is this to use without AngularJS? Additionally, if not, does anyone know of any alternative JS (or perhaps Python) libraries for what Satellizer does?

Questions
Is client-side authentication secure
From 1 comment
I may be paranoid, but is there any security concern about doing authentification on the frontend ? Wouldn't the user be able to see exactly what is going on and intercept some…

Who will do the security review

It seems like a nice start. Who will do the security review?

OAuth.io

This looks neat! It looks like there is a good amount of config for handling different providers. Have you check out OAuth.io and its opensource core oauthd?:…

Torii and SimpleAuth
From 2 comments
Satellizer is tightly coupled with Angular so I don't think there is much sense in using it without Angular. You can certaintly take server-side examples and re-implement…
