What about OAuth, OpenID and friends for authentication?
As for the web app, I'm not very convinced by the idea that we should make
a website our main way to discover native software. One of the strength of
Haiku is the tight integration of apps with each other, which we currently
can't provide with a web application. So, I would let HaikuDepot (the
native app) be the main way to discover and manage software (no need for 2
separate apps when one will do). However, having a way to show haiku apps
to people not (yet) running Haiku would be nice. I don't know if this is
up to us or to the app developers.
There is also the problem that we desinged HaikuDepot and the package
system to work with multiple repositories, not just HaikuPorts. If that
works as planned, there would not be a single central website with all the
apps, but rather many sources of packages. In that case, HaikuDepot will
be able to gather the data from all package sources, but maybe a website
wouldn't.
