OKAccounts
User account management and payments in NodeJs made easy.
Making a website, with users and credit card payments?
When doing that, not only do you have to code the main thing that your site does,
but you also have to code account management and payments as well,
which
can be tedious, and take a lot of steam out of
what you really want to focus on.
... Well not any more!
The good news is that OKAccounts provides a starter NodeJs server
with all those APIs already built in.
Which
frees you up to focus your coding efforts on what
you really need to focus on.

EzAccounts
What happened to EzAccounts?
EzAccounts used a legacy version on NodeJs (v0.10.x),
was written in ES5 Javascript,
and used the Express library.
OKAccounts is its
successor, and a complete rewrite.
It uses the current LTS version of NodeJs (v4.x.x),
and is written is ES6 Javascript.
It also uses the KoaJs instead of Express.
This new combination has allowed the code to be rewritten
such that it is easier to read and understand,
and therefore easier to maintain and support.
More importantly, this makes it
easier for you
to develop your own APIs for your site!
