> I’m actually currently wondering what to do with the forum and our homepage… right now feel the quickest route is to let Discourse deal with user sign-ups because it has some cool features (such as Twitter/GH auth, log in with email, 2FA etc). Can always swap after wards…

That’s what I’ve done on one of my domains a long while back. I setup an OpenID Connect server and built a backend for it that uses the discourse forum as the master login database and it’s worked exceptionally well as an SSO. I only wish discourse could be an OIDC server by itself or at least if some plugin already existed so I didn’t have to build my own a while back. 😅
