Hey HN, I’m Dick Hardt[1][2][3], and I’m the founder of Hellō. Hellō is a new paradigm in Identity as a Service that empowers the user, simplifies development, and has a much lower cost structure. If you are building a new app, Hellō is faster (minutes) and cheaper (free) than the alternatives. https://www.hello.dev/docs/comparison/ https://www.hello.dev/docs/comparison/ ... especially if you are building with Next.js, Express, or Fastify and using our Quickstart which removes all the manual configuration so that you are running locally in a minute, and can be deployed fully configured a minute later. We posted about our co-operative approach on HN last year https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33177705 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33177705 Since then we have added support for Discord, GitHub, GitLab, Mastodon, and Twitter. If you are on a mobile device, you can enroll a passkey for future logins on that device. On the desktop, you can scan a QR code to login with your phone. We expect you have more questions. https://www.hello.coop/pages/approach.html https://www.hello.coop/pages/approach.html describes: - Our approach - How the cooperative works - How we’ll fund Hellō with smart contracts - Our guiding tenets - How we protect people’s privacy - Our architecture Thanks for reading and trying!

No pricing information? Not really adoptable without that.

Really impressive how many of the tricky pitfalls you've managed to automatically smooth over with this approach, love it!

  thanks! ... just like SSO -- it does not seem hard in a demo that has made it easy!

I use Hellō with my WordPress and Discourse sites and it works like a charm. Honestly, it's one of my favorite things about my sites. I don't know how it works for Next.js but I imagine it'll probably be just as smooth if not smoother.

Really cool to see an identity provider that's free, both in price and in friction. Nicely done!

Looks so nice! Free + not having to manage all those pesky API keys is such a cool combination. Some questions: Is there a way to have my own login page with the email field and a selection of social buttons styled as I'd like and have them the redirect to hello to complete the flow? Can I brand the emails? In the event I have to integrate with the custom SSO (using a standard format such as SAML and the likes) of some big Corp, is it possible to do it? (it'd be such a big overpriced market to disrupt). Thanks!
