> I was also similarly disappointed with the quality of Supabase’s auth offering considering all the praise I consistently see for Supabase on HN.
Around the time you were trying it out, there were some issues with Supabase clients not authenticating properly in SSR environments like Next.js or Remix. I think those have been solved with the introduction of the `@supabase/ssr` library, and continuing to use a middleware for refreshing the session upon each request. This latter option was always available, but wasn't in the example, so I think a lot of folks didn't implement the auth middleware and thus didn't ever refresh their stored access token.
