Hey everyone, we're currently searching for the world's fastest developer.

The competition runs through to 12am, Feb 26th PT.

Everyone who enters gets three months of Kinde Pro, and the first 100 will be sent a limited edition t-shirt.

The winner at the end will receive a brand new Macbook Pro M3 Pro 14' and $10k in Kinde Credits.

At the time of posting, the fastest time is 20.4 seconds.

Good luck.

In response to community feedback Kinde's free tier inclusions have increased to 10,500 MAU, and 10,500 users will be included on every Pro plan.

One of our engineers built this for a conference last year and thought it'd be cool to share. I'm trying to convince him to build it out and include the program that they use in the show as well once you get in, but for now it's simple but kinda cool.

The logins are: user: [email protected] pass: severance user: [email protected] pass: severance user: [email protected] pass: severance user: [email protected] pass: severance

Makes sense, good luck with the launch :)

Congrats on the launch - the website is stunning. Have passed it on to the rest of our eng team.

Random question - why did you go for PropelAuth? We're an auth/billing provider and all teams we speak to usually have different reasons for their choices. Would be interested to know!

that did help

Thanks! Worked with an awesome animation company called Fox&Co based in NZ

Any chance you could email me? [email protected]

Obviously a bit of a concern for us if you were struggling, would be keen to hear more

Trust me when I say that we're paranoid about data too. Our security specialist was the second hire.

It was a huge issue with Auth0 recently when they were bought by Okta. We've spoken to customers who have had their prices increased 2-20x virtually overnight with no forewarning and they've been forced to go through a process with customer support in order to get access to their user base and move off.

I'll get someone from the team with a better understanding of the password hashing to get back to you on this but I believe it's bcrypt2.

As Dave mentioned we're trying to make it as easy as possible to get your users out. I'll chat to someone from the team about the automation, it's an interesting idea

Under the hood you often find a lot of differences in terms of what you get for the cost, limitations in user management depending on which company, and a few other factors.

For us we've built out auth, and now the next step is billing and release management. Once you have these different factors in one place you should see heaps of benefits

Yep, but you'll find with a lot of them the features are incredibly limiting on free plans. It's the same virtually anywhere in terms of having a free tier, so the issue becomes pricing on higher plans. We come in significantly lower for the same feature sets

The driving factor we're pushing for going forward is to bring all of these dev products (auth, release management, billing, experimentation) under one roof. You'll only have to integrate once and from there on out every other feature is a single line of code.

That way you can manage your users in the same place that you manage your subscriptions, release beta products to a very specific set of users etc. all in one place.

Thanks! That's a perfect explanation. Exactly right with the subscription management on the way, similar to linking up Auth0 with Chargebee in one product.

We have had numerous sign ups from people thinking we were Kindle, although a little late for a name change

A little bit but trying to primarily drive growth through referrals from existing customers. If we can continue to build based on their requests and keep them happy, hopefully they talk about us in the future to other people looking for auth

No problem - we're relaunching the website in the next few months so hopefully that'll be a bit clearer. At this stage the closest comparison would be clerk.dev!

Hey HN - excited to share Kinde with all of you.

We're building a one stop shop for new SaaS products. Integration takes a few minutes and our current record time is 1 minute 52 seconds for a first time user.

Current features: - ISO certified secure auth - Connected apps (Drive, Github, Gitlab) - Custom branding + domains - 14 SDKs (incl. react, nextjs, etc.) - Azure + 8 social SSO options - Organizations and multi-tenanting (b2b2b & b2b2c support) - MFA w/ OTP generators or SMS - Passwordless sign in - Basic feature flags (full release management suite coming) - Completely customizable flows - Request access forms

Also on the way - Billing (Q3) - Release management suite - Experimentation - Marketing and lead gen

There's heaps on the way. Check it out and let us know what you think
