   Would love to know what is preventing you from considering SuperTokens

   Agreed that the standards make things complex. However, some of them, like OpenID connect are not required for several apps that want just simple email password login (an example). This is where our idea of modules (or recipes) come from. I

   Thank you! 1. Developers should not be forced to stay with us because they cant leave. The mindset is that the customer is always first and if they find a better solution than our job is to be better than that alternative (not prevent them

   We have a line under the first login GIF that says "Note: Login is currently available only for Nodejs. Other tech stacks will be supported soon". Apologies if this was not evident enough. Will factor this feedback into our UI des

   Yes, thats exactly it - from our experience with talking to devs and startups. Once the project starts scaling, things change

   We're bias but we obviously dont think so. Infact, we think its gotten more complicated over the years. Some of that complexity is for the right reasons but that isnt required for everyone and for all use cases

   Ofcourse, everyone has their own preference. Thats an interesting perspective as well. My only counter to that would be that its time consuming to roll your own auth for a complex or large scale app. It starts off easy but soon you have to

    Thank you MH15! Its clearly top of the list for many people and it will be out before you need to build auth for your next project :)

    We're building email verification and social login at the moment and would love to have it ready in time for you. When do you plan to launch your product by?

    Oops, yes I did - haha. But I hope it answered your question? Also, when you say innovation is neccessary - what makes you say that? In the sense that do you have any specific pain points or innovation in mind?

    Thank you so much! Appreciate it. Also, we agree - we have a lot to do before earn it (but also a fair comparison would be to Stripe's docs when they were new as opposed to today).

    Thank you! I answered a similar comment which it seems like you've seen. Not sure I understood your response on that one. Why was the tone deplorable?

    A lot of companies would rather not send their user data to a 3rd party. For those, we offer the option of self hosting. The ones that you do not mind using a 3rd party, we also offer a SaaS version of our product. And yes, indeed. We will

    Haha we both did laugh at this one. I mean we were sick of doing it when we trying to build a product whos core value prop was different because auth was a distraction. We wanted to focus. Now that we're focussing ON auth, we are happy

    Keycloak is a worthy alternative, no doubt. There are a few reasons we built SuperTokens - despite knowing about Keycloak: We've taken a modular approach which is different from most. This enables you to only pick the features you want

    This is such a clickbait article. It doesnt mention any details of how the data was actually stolen using the thermometer. It doesnt even explicitly say that the thermometer was an IOT device. "Hacked through a thermometer" could
