Yes, that is correct. The same is true for any "Login with..." solution -- you
have to load Javascript to do anything with CHAPI, OIDC, or even DIDCommv2 on
the web today.

Hrm, there is no redirect proxying in CHAPI -- it leads to a bad UX.

Doesn't sound like you're missing anything, but these links might help...

Video examples of CHAPI features here:

https://github.com/digitalbazaar/credential-handler-polyfill#features

Including CHAPI on a website (your question above) is one line of Javascript:

https://github.com/digitalbazaar/credential-handler-polyfill#install

Getting a Verifiable Credential is a few lines:

https://github.com/digitalbazaar/credential-handler-polyfill#get

Requesting the storage of a VC is a one-liner:

https://github.com/digitalbazaar/credential-handler-polyfill#store

Hope that helps, Snorre.
