6 years ago Simpla requires a) a way to authenticate users, and b) somewhere to store content. Right now authentication is done via an adapter (eg: Netlify, Firebase, others in future), and storage is hard coded to Github. We want to open up storage to being an adapter too (see #77), so Simpla isn't tied to any particular service.
Does the entire backend for Simpla require Netlify or only for authentication and authorization? Does Simpla communicate with Github directly or through Netlify? When I evaluate software, I am always looking at the portability factors from a non-funded perspective. I know that I can dig around to find these answers myself. Maybe a little later - but I wanted to ask you.
