joseonjok··on Auth for B2B SaaS: it's not like auth for consumer software
There are clearly people using LLMs to generate comments but what's worse is people now just accusing people of being agents or bots in an effort to downplay and ignore their points.

What's clear is that its impacting HN very negatively in the past 3 months or so. What irks me is there are clearly long formatted responses that are clearly using LLM but authentic user comments are being written off as LLM/agent/bot in order to get others to stop engaging with them.

You are building an auth and you didn't even bother doing a in depth look at what Zitadel does ???? This doesn't communicate any serious commitment or product depth. Zitadel already does B2B very well and it is not only mature but very flexible to use across much of the enterprise space.

I'm not even sure better auth is worth comparing to, there are so many critical open issues that impact not only security but feature parity with much more established and mature open source solutions.

Not to be harsh but the website not loading earlier clearly doesn't set a good first impression.

I'm puzzled as to why this area is constantly seeing reinventing the wheels? I can name a few very mature (20 years in teh making) open source projects that pretty much lets you self host everything you might possibly need to handle all sorts of authentication schemes

It seems like if its not written in Javascript people have aversion to it and this "keep everything typescript" really makes no sense to me especially when you deal with the missio n critical nature of backends.
