#2Wow this is such a natural fit! Used both products, better auth is a clear successor. What a great path forward

#3Great news for dev simplicity, Better Auth is just... better.

#5only 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.

#7This framework has made auth such a non-issue for me. The setup is easy and the usage is consistent framework to framework. So glad to see that they’re continuing to do well.

It’s not that auth is unsolved in other languages/frameworks, but it’s often way too complex or configuration-heavy. If adding passkey support to my app is going to take 2 hours, that’s two hours I’m spending away from building my core product. For smaller projects, that’s not time that I could afford.
For example, if I want to add passkeys to my .NET CORE app, this is the guide Microsoft provides:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/security/authe...
Contrast that to better-auth (which is 7 lines of code total in server changes, and virtually no change to client API usage):

For some projects, the flexibility of other solutions might be needed. But for ease-of-use and development speed, better-auth has been a clear winner for me.

#10I really wish there was such an easy off-the shelf auth solution for Go
