I want to say thank you to the Supertokens team! I have been integrating Supertokens into a legacy Sails app, and the experience has been good. I have found solutions in the docs to any problems. The story behind this is that I noticed my client having extremely bad password security, so I suggested we switch to Auth0 which they agreed to. Once I had Auth0 integrated (long journey, the app used its own sessions and users so I had to remove all that), I noticed I was getting quickly rate limited when fetching user data for normal site requests. I figured this would be solved once we started paying for Auth0, but then I dug into the pricing... 😬 oh boy. Super expensive. At this point I started looking for a self-hosted alternative and found Supertokens! Since the app is already decoupled from sessions and users, it is pretty simple to dump Auth0 and integrate Supertokens.

Thanks for the feedback!! Appreciate it 🙂

We set up Twilio and sendgrid and thought passwordless would just work, but apparently you have to hack the stuff into the login page yourself

Yeaaa. Auth0 can be annoying for custom UI

It's so weird! why haven't they implemented it into their current login flow

I guess cause most people who pay them a huge amount get dedicated support and then those support engineers can solve any issue anyway.

heh yeah... the costs add up quickly

They indeed do!
