nod says who you are

It is one sign-in for your apps: you are the same person in every one of them, proven by an account you already have. It does not say what you may do; each app decides that.

For an organization, such as a school or a company, nod is its own sign-in for its own people and apps, kept apart from every other organization on it.

What nod does today:

• Sign in with Google.
• One identifier for each person, the same in every app, and never Google's.
• No passwords: nod stores none.
• It passes the OpenID Foundation's FAPI 2.0 conformance tests.
• An installable library for Node apps.
• A reference to quote when a sign-in fails.

nod is not open to other organizations yet.
