   I have to admit that I'm not up to date on what's out there in this space, but this seems like a pretty useful tool. Is there or will there be a UI to show all of the things you're monitoring?

   As the only SQL client with native support for PlanetScale, Arctype is definitely useful from that perspective. I also like the UI and find it pretty easy to use. In my admittedly limited experience using it, I found that some MySql datatyp

   Congrats on the launch, Adam! We're using Kable at Rownd to better understand how our customers use our authentication and account management services. For example, we can track how many sign-ins a particular customer is driving throug

   Thanks for the feedback. It's not you, it's us. ;-) We've just been making some updates to our home page to hopefully make it clearer, but we realize we still have plenty of work to do. If you sign in at the Rownd website, yo

   Thanks for the feedback! We can definitely produce a shorter demo video that provides a basic walkthrough of how it works without going into tons of detail. The one we produced for this was more of a live-coding dev walkthrough. As someone

   Thanks for bringing up this point! I think there are definitely times where self-hosting authentication might make sense, but I'll respectfully disagree that most people should do this. Every component that gets added to your infrastru

   I think they often do, yes. But I feel like there's often a decision point there for the user. The thought "if I don't create an account, but need to come back later for something (status, returns, questions), can I still get

   Apologies for the confusion. The pricing is monthly, but we're lowering it to $49/mo for anyone coming from Hacker News. I'm a huge fan of self-service as well. Picking up the phone to call someone is like...the last thing I

    Great point! Thanks for the observation. Unfortunately, at the moment, we only have the client-side handlers built, but we do plan to add support for server-side rendering in the authenticated state. For now, you can use our `is_initializin

    We're fans of SOLID too! I think there's a ton of interesting work to be done in that space to make it scalable, secure, and really user friendly. We've definitely had some discussions around how Rownd and SOLID might fit tog

    Yes, once you've added information to one Rownd partner, it _can_ become available to a second partner, but _only_ if the user consents to sharing it and only when the fields/data types match between the two apps. Typically, that

    Sorry it didn't work for you! Do you happen to be using a service like Pihole, etc to block specific domains on your network? We currently use Postmark for sending transactional email and by default, they rewrite all links to use their

    Hey, thanks! There are a number of companies working in this problem space, and certainly Userfront is one. But one of the most obvious differences is that the first thing Userfront does is ask you for a password. We'll never do that b

    We envision a future without passwords and where you can take your identity around with you and plug it in wherever you want, while also maintaining control of that personal info. Interestingly, the first thing clerk.dev asks for when you s
