Joined another .NET company with their own special ways of doing things. Love the company and people

Got my first ticket and found there was a lot of back and forth because the requirements or specs weren't right.

You feel like you're fixing others' issues.

I've been a developer for 25 years, but at any new company I join, the first ticket is always the hardest.

You're still learning their ecosystem and coding style standards.

It just makes you feel so drained when you know if standards keept to you'd be fine.

I have desktop Avalonia application and I need to use GitLab oauth to handle authorization. I may be wrong, but as I know oauth required RedirectUrl to get data of authorized user

In case of web-frontend it's understandable, but how do I handle this in desktop type of application? Do I need web server inside my application to handle redirect from oauth procedure? If yes, than is HttpListener (which is quite old and about to deprecate?) only one possible solution? Because I don't want to use full featured asp.net core server just to handle one auth request

Does some tiny http servers exist in .net ecosystem? Or maybe are there some workarounds to evade using of redirect uri for oauth and still get data of log on user?

Thanks in advance!
