simply put, a gated custom webpage, with certain user emails allowed to access it. (it's basically interactive html content for teaching students that have paid) none of the people with us are actual devs. including me. and none of us are ready to sink in money into this since this is too early stage and rapidly changing rn cloudflare pages seem to have a nice static site hosting service. but the thing is, it's static pages, i can't find anything that seems to be as unrestricted and quick as cloudflare pages for free. now my problem is, how do i only allow certain emails to pass? i tried messing around with google sign in but, yeah, it's a complicated thing to setup, and then i will probably have to manage sessions, and that too from a server, there's lots of people also claiming don't store stuff in session storage because xss attack, at this point i think i should just get a slow but actual server thing for premium pages, and use cloudflare pages for trial. i checked out firebase but the docs are hard to understand, and people claim "vender lock!" then the alternative supabase seems lacking in simplified auth docs too, and they seem to freeze projects after 7 days if unused? auth0 and clerk seem to have weird pricing and i think I don't really need that much complexity maybe i am pre optimising and i should just let there be some "enter password to view the complete site" for now. i really don't know, besides, most of the people with us can't exactly deal with complicated things like Wrangler or whatever cloudflare pages does have for pseudo backend at this point i am tired xD
