Validity checking and fallback

2021-06-30

Another short update about my progress on the Synapse implementation.

I added:

• The endpoint for checking the validity of a token.
• A fallback webpage which can be used by clients which don't know about the registration token auth type. This still has some problems with invalid tokens not being rejected gracefully, but that should be sorted at some point.

Both those things turned out to be pretty simple to implement. The exciting thing is that, with the fallback, you can now use a Matrix client to register with a token! The UX of fallbacks is a bit clunky though.

Now, the two big things left for this project are the Synapse admin API, and the client implementation in Nheko.
