Persona authenticated, wwwhisper authorized web server on OpenShift.

Any comments are very welcome! The readme file includes links to a demo site that anyone can access (sign-in with @mockmyid.com email if you don't want to create a real Persona account). Do you have any use cases for which an authorization layer like this would be handy? What additional features would you need?

In plain words

This project deploys wwwhisper, an authorization layer for web servers, on OpenShift using Persona authentication. It sits between users and web applications to control access based on identity. The solution is designed for developers who need to protect web services with authentication and authorization without building these features into their applications themselves. A demo site is available for testing with mock email accounts.

    Hey everyone. My cofounder and I are open sourcing Persona.js (https://www.persona-chat.dev/). It's a VanillaJS library that helps anyone build agentic experiences on the web, without a framework dependency, and full WebMCP support So, why'd we do this? 1) We're super fans of the web and the browser can do a ton today 2) We've seen AI builds be way overly complex because the FE requires a large project within an existing app OR the site wasn't using a framework to begin with If you've been a part of huge apps with multiple frameworks inside them, or work inside CMS /…
