Yeah, Vercel has already done this before like with Nuxt, Svelte and other. But I also do want to have a better story for auth with all those frameworks and Nextjs as well.

Bereket Here the team at Vercel has been my biggest inspiration and always reflected many of the reasons we started working on Better Auth. This would allow us to focus more on what made better-auth great in the first place It hasn't

I think auth is complicated outside of browsers too. But browsers do make some things uniquely confusing, especially cookies and general security primitives are full of footguns

Hey, Bereket from Better Auth here. I started Better Auth to solve this exact issue for myself, and it later turned into a company. It always give me joy to just see others getting the same value from it :) There is a lot to work on, would

Hey HN, I’m Bereket from Better Auth. A couple of weeks ago, I started hacking on a project to improve GitHub, mostly because I was tired of the current experience (like many others) and no one seemed to be doing much about it. It’s still v

Fair concern but I don’t think Auth.js was ever “truly free,” considering it was supported by many companies (big or small) including someone like Clerk even running ads on the docs site. We started Better Auth with the vision of making hig

NextAuth has supported delegating your db for years, companies like cal.com, deel.com and many others use that directly (not just for stateless jwt). I don’t really see the difference here, except that we handle more for you. And of course,

1. We won’t sunset Auth.js unless we’re confident that anyone currently using it can migrate to Better Auth without any issues, which is quite difficult right now. So we don’t expect to do that anytime soon and chances are we will never req

We’ve had early access to it for a while now, we’re already running a lot of performance critical workloads on it and it’s been working wonderfully. Congrats sam and the team on setting a new standard for what highly performant managed Post

1. Depends on whether you need RLS or not. We're working on improving the Better Auth + Supabase RLS story by collaborating with them, but if you're not relying on RLS for authorization, I’d go with Better Auth. You’ll get more fe

As I mentioned in the post, our goal is to help developers own their Auth. And now that we’re funded, it’d help us pursue this goal even more aggressively and give people more confidence.

Yes. You should check the SSO plugin which would allow you to store the config in your db and can retrieve it dynamically.

Thanks for the kind note! And good suggestion. I was meaning to update that for a while.

Not many people are implementing passkeys yet, and we don’t want to force that on users. Also, the plugins we provide are still tightly integrated with the framework, you don’t even need to install a separate package, just import them.

- Not right now, but there’s already an open issue and a PR in progress. - We don’t use JWTs directly, and sessions always require state (it’s not stateless). And yeah, both the client and server handles automatic session refresh. - Yes, we

Appreciate the kind words :)) Yeah, it’ll mostly be high-level features. We do plan to offer paid support seems like there’s demand for it, and it helps give teams more confidence when choosing the library.

You should be able to get all the features you get from Firebase and much more. The only major downside right now is that we don’t have a Firebase/Firestore adapter yet. So if that’s the database you’re using, you’d need to use a diffe

Thanks for the kind words - really appreciate it! And yes, it connects directly to your existing setup (the dashboard is mostly just a UI). What you’re really “buying” from us are the additional features on the dashboard like bot protection

by bekacru 1y ago
Yes, that’s exactly what we’re aiming for. I think there are many reasons to tightly couple auth with your app. As you said, self-hosting auth servers and integrating them often isn’t a fun experience and that’s one of the reasons 3rd party
