- bottlepalm 1y agoThey're not. Better Auth is only 'maintaining' Auth.js to push people towards Better Auth.
- BoorishBears 1y agoRauch got a heck of a deal: hire NextAuth/Auth.js lead developer, use zombified Auth.js as a funnel to Clerk (a portco) with prominent CTAs on every page. Then a replacement to zombified Auth.js pops up, but this time he's early so I would take bets on him having a slice. Use your closeness (via having hired the lead dev) to facilitate "absorbing" (read: erasing) the last dregs of Auth.js, successfully replacing it with a duopoly you've invested in both sides of! Bonus: Having raised (which you helped with) they can't undercut Clerk on some shoestring budget.. they'll fail! The prophecy continues :) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40321997 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40321997
