OAuth.net - open source C# .net library
OAuth.net is a .net library which provides full OAuth consumer and provider support. The library facilitates secure API authentication in a simple and standard method for desktop and web applications.
OAuth allows users to grant and deny one application access to the data stored in other applications. It forms one of the foundation blocks of the data portability concept, which has the aim of allowing users to easily move their personal data around the web.

Room to explore
Any research involves a process of generating, refining and validating ideas and when you’re a small User Experience team it’s especially important to share those ideas with colleagues. Creating ad-hoc teams or just getting feedback from designers and developers helps to form and evolve ideas quicker.
At Madgex there’s a constant stream of new projects, products and functionality. We’re in the process of developing a new mobile website at the moment and we needed extra wall and physical space for exploration of ideas. We didn’t have enough room to visualise, pin-up, share, discuss or a place to to leave stuff on the wall for a period of time. In the past we have used portable solutions, such as white card, but this can be limiting. Sometimes it’s OK to do this in an open plan office, depending on the space you have, but it can be disruptive for those not involved.
So, it was time to create a special Madgex research and exploration space. Limited office space meant it had to be a multi-purpose room for collaboration, brainstorming, research and user testing – as well as a general meeting room. It’s a place primarily where visual and UI designers can work together but also a relaxed space for designers and developers to collaborate offline.
