My thoughts exactly. I want a simple auth solution that doesn’t push me towards a full batteries-included platform like Firebase and Amplify, nor a highly-configurable/complex “you can do everything auth!” platform. It’s ok if it’s a little opinionated, as long as it serves my use case of “adding logins and SSO to my website” up to 90% of the problem instead of 50% like what’s out there now.

It seems like an underserved market.

This is pretty much exactly what we built at WorkOS. (I work there.)
