Backroom vs DID Digital IDentity

Content messenger where friends can chat privately over things they read and watch

A content messenger for friends to share and chat privately over articles, videos, tweets, or any media. Currently, these private conversations are spread out across emails, text messengers or other platforms which also provide a private message feature (e.g. Twitter DM). Backroom makes it easy to both share and consume relevant information in a private space - whether it’s a static content (an article) or a live stream (an NBA game).

We want to build a communication solution which is content-native. What we mean by that: It understands if it’s a tweet, or a live stream and makes conversations richer and more engaging. We do not undermine what machines can recommend us, but we think if the “seed” can be created by people who know us, machines can use this “seed” and do a better job of recommendation.

DID is the simplest way to add superior passwordless authentication to your websites and apps

DID was created so that we could all stop using passwords. Most of us have too many passwords and we don't like using them. Users not wanting to remember the details of another account is a reason for many failed sign ups particularly for smaller websites.

DID is an Identity Provider, that authenticates users by verifying access to either an email address or securely stored private key. We use whichever is easiest for the customer while matching or exceeding the security requirements of the site.

We want to take care of making great authentication so developers can get on with building the rest of their business.
