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.
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!
cto @ onu here! we chose propelauth because they handled all of the organization logic for us (creating & joining orgs, managing roles, etc), which saved us a ton of time when we were building our MVP during YC. They're also a YC company and the team has been fantastic and really responsive to all of our questions and requests.
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.
