This is great. Competition is definitely needed in the Authentication/Authorization space.

Quick question. How would this compare to supabase/gotrue [0] and permify [1]?

Supabase Auth is only authentication; it doesn't do organizations, permissions/RBAC, impersonation, etc. We are working on some fancy Postgres connectors to let you use Stack Auth with the DB part of Supabase and RLS.

GoTrue and Permify are on a lower abstraction level than us; we connect the entire stack (from frontend to database), while GoTrue and Permify still require a lot of setup and manual integrations.

What’s your timeline look like on that fancy supabase connector?

Auth is literally the next thing I’m working on…
