   Yup, planning on expanding to add a PKCE and OIDC walkthroughs as well!

   Agreed, I think it's something you should know how to do and then choose not to do it (use an existing library instead). Having a good understanding really helps with debugging issues that come up.

   This was my experience as well. I've previously blindly followed instructions from OAuth libraries, but it frustrated me that I didn't fully understand what was going on.

   Pretty much all of it! The JS in this walkthrough is all server-side. I tried to keep the JS itself simple so that someone unfamiliar with the language could have an easy time following the code.

   Hey HN, author here. When I was first learning OAuth, I found that all the guides were text-heavy and lacked code. I personally learn better from code, so I created a code-first guide. Let me know if you have any feedback!

    Not yet, what use case do you have in mind for self hosting?

    Thanks for checking it out! I'd be happy to build and support an on-prem solution, but I'd a need commitment from an enterprise/government org. If that's something you're interested in, shoot me an email at alex@ann

    Thank you for checking it out! I use Figma to get a proof of concept of how I want things laid out. From there it's more tinkering at the code level.

    It's the first time I've heard of CodeTour, I'm really impressed from what I've seen thus far. Digging a bit deeper now, thanks for sharing!

    Thanks for the kind words! Not currently, can you elaborate why you'd want to the code window at the bottom?

    I'm working https://annotate.dev , a tool inspired by the Stripe documentation, to let anyone create step by step code walkthroughs. Here's a sample of a walkthrough you can create: https://annotate.dev/
