totally agree with you re: django jwt. i actually migrated (back) to firebase auth after several afternoons spent debugging a brittle django auth implementation. i partly blame my own inexperience for that... but i see no reason to bother with django auth anymore as firebase has been rock solid with minimal intervention.

Eh... Don't blame your inexperience. I'm also new to Django but not to web dev, and it's been a pain the ass. I haven't been stuck with any Django aspects (great framework otherwise) but rather issues with the libraries.

In the end I think I will make it work, and robustly. So I don't want to diminish the work of all the open-source devs who have worked on those libraries; I count my lucky stars that they're available in the open and for free.

But it's been painful nonetheless, and I am shocked that a better and more streamlined dev experience is not available, especially in such a popular stack.
