Is it possible to offer this as a specification that a val can adhere to instead? I think the way many auth libraries like e.g. passport.js handled their growth really well was by making it easy for the community to create "strategies" that integrate with any other service(s).
Doing it this way would open it up to community contributions, rather than putting pressure on the Val Town team.

Yep excellent point. Pipedream is a prime example of this strategy: https://pipedream.com/docs/components/#developing-components
