You can login to any device on which you can login to your email. Most people can login to their from anywhere, on any device, via a browser. I'm not really targeting people who will want to work from multiple devices and the app its self isn't really that important.

This is an idea that I briefly pursued for the same reasons you list, namely that it's a ubiquitous problem which needs to be solved repeatedly. But in a rough design sketch as to how I would create a generic solution, I made the auth service a proxy for the main app. So user data would be verified and decoded in the proxy, and the app could trust the passed token. This removes the need for a back end driver. I'm cur…

This is a complicated decision to have made and perhaps a blog post is needed for this. But here is an attempt to answer it: A complex enough app will require modifications to the auth flow. Most services achieve that via webhooks or by forcing devs to write code in their "dashboard". This code would then live outside the main codebase which is annoying. So we thought that if someone was making their own auth, they w…

Hoping to launch in January

We have SDKs for other backend frameworks as well (like golang, laravel...). But those only have a session feature, and not login. Hope this provides some clarification.

Do you have a ETA for flask login support? I literally just rolled my own but I'll want to switch it over at some point.
