> The main difference with Auth0 and WorkOS is that BoxyHQ is being built on an open source ethos. Our focus is to be a developer-first security platform, putting developers at the centre of our holistic approach and help them close the gap between compliance and security.

Not to detract from this project, but I'm familiar with Auth0 and WorkOS both, and I think both would say the same thing about themselves.

Yep, we even launched WorkOS via HN :) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22607402

Would love to see both Auth0 and WorkOS go open-source as well! ;) Jokes aside, hi grinich. Would love to catch up sometime, my email is deepak@boxyhq.com

I don't think that either Auth0 or WorkOS is open source. I am sure they both have open source example projects. I know that I have seen Auth0 sponsor open source too.

But as far as pure open source authentication solutions, the ones I know of are:

* Keycloak

* Ory

* Identity server (.net)

But Auth0/WorkOS are definitely focused on building a developer first security platforms. Along with a lot of other companies.
