Congrats on the launch. I have a golang backend, postgres db and a react app. I have added auth using email, password salting and saving in pg. It was about 1 day of work to implement all of this.
I do not have OAuth or SAML however. Is that the differentiating factor, if I have to use your solution ? Is a basic auth setup such a complex thing to handroll ourselves ? I do not intend to be snide but genuinely curios about it. Incorporating your project, its lifecycle management, etc. seems more work than implementing a 3-4 APIs (/signup /signin /verify-email /forgot-password /reset-password) and a periodic job (trigger emails and stuff). Is it so complex that we should bring in a new dependency with its own deployment, backup, monitoring etc. lifecycle management ?
