@scottalanmiller It is easy enough for me to make my app (technically my client's app) support any standard API (if I have documentation of that API, anyway). I prefer to make changes to my app rather than trying to write a plugin for NodeBB, simply because it can probably take me forever to get up to speed on writing plugins for NodeBB.

(and there is basically zero budget for this... it is free work for local business that is struggling to stay afloat by upgrading their online presence before coronavirus lockdown kills them completely)

I see this:
https://github.com/julianlam/nodebb-plugin-sso-wordpress

If I simply implement the other side of it (i.e. make my app "pretend to be wordpress") should that do the trick? Any major gotchas I'm not thinking of?

Thanks again for any help.

Thanks. Is it fair to say that there isn't any existing plug in that does any or this? (or anything that provides a starting point?)

I see this: https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-write-api

Is that likely to be helpful? (although that seems to go the opposite direction than you suggest)

Thanks again.

So, I've got a web app (node.js / Express, running on Heroku with Postgres). It has its own log in scheme, mechanism for changing username, password, etc.

I'd like to run a discussion board on the same domain. If I use NodeBB, would I be able to set it up to use my users? I'd like it so they have to take no extra steps to be able to post on the discussion board.

Is there an API I can talk to to make this happen?
