How indie hackers can contribute to the OOS community

For the past year, I have been using Pizzly as an OAuth Integration Proxy for my indie hacking project. Pizzly is an open-source project that allows you to integrate your app with any third-party services. But recently the project has been deprecated by the original author.

I have been using the project in production and I have made some improvements to the project. So I decided to open source my fork of the project. Here is the GitHub link.

As an indie hacker, I always wanted to contribute back to the open-source community. I think this is a good start. And I encourage other indie hackers to do the same. It's really fulfilling.

What does the project do: Basically what it does is allow you to integrate your app with any third-party platforms that use OAuth2. Think of something like Zapier, allowing users to connect their third-party accounts to your app and enabling your app to perform actions on behalf of the user.

Currently, the project allows you to integrate with dozens of services like Slack, Google Sheets, Hubspot, Linkedin, and Twitter. But it is very easy for you to add your own integration -- as simple as a JSON configuration file.

The Grizzlar fork contains the following new features:

Added support for AWS Lambda, just set the environment variable to lambda in your Lambda configuration

Added support for AWS Elastic Beanstalk.
