I immediately thought about how this would be awesome if it worked with tailscale - pretty complimentary tech I think.

Why would this need to work with Tailscale? It just needs to be running on a machine in your tailnet to be accessible, what other integration is necessary?
Primarily using Tailscale for authentication as well, replacing perkeep's other auth methods.
It appears that it does integrate with Tailscale for auth (but not using tsidp via OIDC like I expected): https://perkeep.org/doc/server-config#simplemode
I'm a co-author of tsidp, btw. You don't need tsidp with a Tailscale-native app: you already know the identity of the peer. tsidp is useful for bridging from Tailscale auth to something that's unaware of Tailscale.
I use `tsnet` and `tsidp` heavily to safely expose a bunch of services to my client devices, they've been instrumental for my little self-hosted cloud of services. Thanks for building `tsidp` (and Perkeep!) :).
I think @kamranjon means that, before this tailscale compatible release happened, thought about how cool it be if it worked directly with tailscale.
