OAuth from First Principles

Re:OAuth from First Principles by n2d4 on Thursday September 05, 2024 @02:52PM (#41459451)

We gotta start somewhere, and Next.js is popular right now — we're working on some cool non-Next stuff though (eg. auth proxies that can provide user info to any server, which we can hopefully launch within the next weeks).

Regardless, the focus of this blog post is on OAuth, not Stack Auth =) I appreciate the feedback though.

Yes, the blog post is very informative (although the images do not scale well on mobile).

My previous post was based on the phrase “open-source Auth0” (in your blog post) and we use Auth0 (and don’t like it). But all of out apps are react, not nextjs

I’m currently evaluating Auth0 and other similar services with a view to migrating from Cognito. May I ask what you don’t like about it?

(plugging my startup- hope that’s ok!)

we’ve had lots of folks migrate from Cognito to WorkOS. Lots of more features, modern API, and better extensibility.

Thanks for this, I will work through it.

If you happen to be looking for future blog posts:

One thing that would help me and probaby a lot of other people is to show the flow using API calls in Postman.

Currently I am planning to reverse engineer example code in an unfamiliar framework...
