I don’t know the story, but I’m not surprised. I led an effort to switch my company to Auth0 recently and they’re… bad. They have very poor support for anything even barely outside of normal, and when things are working correctly they not very good. But when you have a requirement to move to a third party SaaS service, I suppose Auth0 is maybe the best of a bad bunch.

while i agree, in this case at least it looks like the money raised is for a future SaaS auth solution built on top of the open-source project
Which will invariably lead to that open source project to become less and less useful if implemented separately from the SaaS platform. I’ve seen this game plan often enough. Good for them, bad for the rest of us.
I probably haven't been around as long as you. Could you provide an example of one that comes to mind?

Re: Auth.js is now part of Better Auth
#26only in javascript where auth is such a big issue. in rails you can use the rails 8 auth or a better alternative authentication-zero. before it was devise. java - spring security, shiro etc. but just complex things. alternatively - use services like fusionAuth
Why is auth "such a big issue" in JS? I've used a number of solutions but haven't had big issues with them.
Anything that can help me utilize oauth standards is fine to me.
