Hey, Bereket from Better Auth here. I started Better Auth to solve this exact issue for myself, and it later turned into a company. It always give me joy to just see others getting the same value from it :) There is a lot to work on, would love to know what we can improve

Do you think the complexity of auth in the browser, is because browsers don't do enough?
Not who you're replying to but browsers do way too much. Load the code you're given and don't do anything else.
I think auth is complicated outside of browsers too. But browsers do make some things uniquely confusing, especially cookies and general security primitives are full of footguns
FedCM might be of interest to you. It's one effort to make browsers do more around authentication.
Wrote an article about that here: https://fusionauth.io/articles/authentication/fedcm (hosted at my employer's website)
Hey hey! Qq: you guys plan to support Python backends or is there a way for us to do this?
