Congrats on the launch, y'all 🤠 Can't wait to give this a spin. Signup was *really* slick. Care to shine any light on your tech stack and how you made Feather ➹?

Thanks @carsonjonze! The backend API is built with Go+PostgreSQL and runs on AWS. The frontend website+docs are all React. And that survey form is using the Airtable API under-the-hood (it's pretty magic! 🧙🏻‍♂️) As for how Feather came to be, the idea originated from having struggled with a number of other auth services when building prior apps. We were wasting so much time on basic table-stakes features, that we thought there had to be a simpler way. When we couldn't find what we were looking for, we decided to build it! So we did a deep dive into technical aspects of authentication (researching JWTs, OAuth, OIDC, MFA, SAML, SSO), synthesized all the jargon into an API that made sense to us, and then wrote a little code to bring it to life. And while not all of those technologies are featured in Feather today, we plan to integrate many of them in the future! 😊🛠

Are users able to customize the email interface between password recovery / account verification and the account holder?

@chris_dickey3 Yep for sure! In the dashboard, there's an Email Templates section for editing the content/copy of the password recovery and verification emails. At the moment, we don't have support for setting up 3rd-party email providers (e.g. Mailgun, Sendgrid, or AWS SES), but this is definitely on our roadmap and will be available soon!

@banisingh Thanks Bani! Hope Feather can cut the time it takes for makers to launch new products! (Maybe we'll see someone build a product with Waitlist *and* Feather sometime in the near future 👀)

@banisingh Thanks Bani! In retrospect, we maybe should have put this behind a Waitlist 😅

Excellent idea. Auth0, aws service like cognito are complex to get started, so making it simple is the key to success. Planning to give this a try in next day or two....

@rajesh_kanade Thanks Rajesh! Yes, we totally agree with you on that assessment! And if you need custom JWT claims, those services can be quite a doozy to get the rules/cloud functions set up. If you have any questions during integration or just want to chat (we love to chat haha) - you can always reach out to us on Twitter DMs or in our Feather Discord! https://discord.gg/5W8Ags4

👋 Hey, PH! And thanks @bobbythakkar for hunting us! Authentication is, quite literally, a barrier to entry. And not just for your users, but for you, the maker as well. As hobbyists, we felt we were spending *way* too much time adding auth to our apps. So we decided to build Feather! ⚡️ Build an entire sign-in flow in 5 minutes or less. With Feather, adding Passwordless or Email/Password+Reset login flows to your app is as simple as importing the Feather React library. Regardless if you’re a student who has struggled endlessly with auth, or an industry vet who’s built auth a dozen times, we believe you can save hours (if not days!) with Feather. We’ve got many more features planned, but give Feather a look today! P.S. If you want to give Feather a spin but don’t know what to build, we wrote a tutorial on building a simple to-do app, leveraging the simplicity of Feather and the power of Hasura. We love Hasura and if nothing else, hope you might walk away with a new set of powerful tools for your next project! https://dev.to/nick_garfield/bui... ✌️, Nick + Phil

Thanks for the hunt @bobbythakkar! Very excited to share Feather with PH today! In a world with many auth options, here's why we believe Feather matters: 💻🎒 Built for makers. The major auth options are targeted at larger players with enterprise needs. Feather is and will always be focused on makers. Feather is for those with an idea and need to ship their quirky product fast, and securely 💵 Priced for makers. Feather's pricing is maker friendly. $4/month across your projects up to 4,000 users Everything else is gravy. While we truly believe our product is simpler than anything else out there (yarn add feather-client-react, and then import a provider and a form - done), it's our focus on makers that I'm most excited about. 🏎 We hope Feather can speed up the launch of your next product! Thanks for the early love PH ❤️ Nick and I look forward to seeing what you build!
