Hey @fomalhaut, this looks fantastic! 🎉 Solving the pain points around authentication and user management is crucial, especially for developers who want to focus on building their product rather than getting bogged down in the backend complexities.
I love that Stack Auth is fully open-source and self-hostable – that aligns perfectly with the growing trend of wanting more control over our tech stacks and avoiding vendor lock-in. The fact that you can get started in just five minutes is a huge bonus too! It definitely speaks to the kind of efficiency we all crave in our development workflows.
I’d love to see more about the integration flow and any unique features you’re rolling out. Have you thought about a community toolkit or examples to help new users get to grips with RBAC and user management? Looking forward to trying it out in my projects and joining the Discord as well!
@blankwebdev thanks!
About community toolkit: we do have future plans integrating Slack/Discord/Telegram auth so people can build community management tools more easily!
About examples: our GitHub has an "examples" folder, and there are also some community built projects in the readme

Thanks for you project!
We've built many web projects before, and the most annoying part of starting a project is the endless hours of struggling with authentication, user management, account settings, and RBAC. None of the existing open-source solutions have the developer-friendliness and feature set that we would like to see.
Good luck
Kudos to the Stack Auth team on this launch. With a decade in tech development, I've dealt with my fair share of complex authentication systems. Would love to try integrating this into my projects.
Nice, user impersonation is an awesome feature. We’re going to try this out

I'm particularly impressed with how developer-friendly and open-source it is. How does Stack Auth differ from existing solutions like next-auth in terms of both features and ease of use? Are there any unique functionalities that set it apart?
@tucker1 thanks! The difference between us and next-auth: we just have more features — for example, we have built-in support for teams/organizations, RBAC, password auth, JWT metadata, and so on and so forth. We are a managed solution for authentication, authorization, and user management, whereas Next-Auth is simply a library for authentication only.
