My relationship with OAuth began years ago when I was looking to secure my personal apps, but it ended in confusion and without me doing anything with it. Fast forward several months later and I decided "you know what, I'm just going to sit down and dedicate the time to learn this!"...that ended in confusion and without me doing anything with it. The third time I was hopeful that I could grasp it, but this also ended in confusion. Then I had a thought: All OAuth is is just a process for how to do things securely...theoretically this could apply to things I DO understand, and that I interact with in daily life in the real, physical world. The goal is to help people out by explaining OAuth the way that FINALLY helped me do so, by applying real-life examples to it.
