I think this might explain why they made Theia : https://dev.to/svenefftinge/theia-1-0-finally-a-good-browser...

If that's so, then they truly fumbled on execution. Open VSX requires GitHub OAuth for login.

it requires OAuth, not github's OAuth

[cxr]

If you've successfully logged in with non-Github OAuth, can you substantiate that with steps to reproduce? E.g,

1. Navigate to https://open-vsx.org/

2. [etc…]

Haven't tried it myself but you can always go to the code and do it yourself : I think the confusion here is that https://open-vsx.org/ requires github which is normal, they can require whatever they want you can even go in and add something else => https://github.com/eclipse/open-vsx.org

or roll your own : https://github.com/eclipse/openvsx

Why wouldn't you just say, "oops, I was wrong" instead of.... whatever you're trying to do right now?

open-vsx.org only requires login for publishers. Downloading / installing extensions is done anonymously.
