Hi,

What do you think about the idea to move the OIDC Client below an organization like Apache Foundation? Would you support such an idea and contribute to such an initiative? I started a discussion around this topic, see the Twitter conversation in the link below.

There's a fork of oidc-client-js — oidc-client-ts — that looks promising.

V4 switch on appauthjs. It reduce a lot the bundle size and fix major bug and reduce a lot the surface api.
