OAuth1's /ridiculously/ complex.

OAuth2 fits in a tweet: get a login URL, user visits it, redirects back to you with an auth code, swap it for an access token.

Out of the major players:

- Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Instagram uses OAuth2.

- Only Twitter uses OAuth 1.

That's way a Docker container that does it for you would be so valuable.

That's true, but there's no need to make new oauth 1 servers: people hate writing clients for it.
