Synopsis

Project Strange emerges as a beacon of innovation in an otherwise mature industry (IAM)—where services become more costly and less transparent. This open-source venture not only enhances digital identity management across platforms but also embodies the hacker spirit of tackling and reshaping the flawed system from within. Our system integrates accessible technologies, providing clear and actionable insights into user access without requiring extensive technical resources.

Our talk will navigate through the challenging yet exhilarating journey of developing Project Strange, emphasizing the collaborative and iterative process that necessitated restarting the project multiple times. By sharing our experiences, we aim to not only highlight the technical achievements but also inspire the community to actively participate in creating solutions that advocate for a more open and user-friendly internet, pushing back against the prevailing trends of restriction and opacity.
