sanitize-html VS SuperTokens Community

Since marked doesn't do it for you, make sure you sanitize the user input (the text on the user profiles) before rendering it to visitors.

Some libraries for doing that with good defaults:

- https://github.com/cure53/DOMPurify

- https://github.com/apostrophecms/sanitize-html

- https://github.com/bevacqua/insane

(right now your site looks vulnerable to XSS)

Sometimes I use sanitize-html to clean up the html and ask chatgpt to help me refine my selectors.

One thing to watch out for is that the content of each reply is HTML. To be safe (paranoid), I'm running the HTML through sanitize-html to make sure nobody can inject sketchy HTML into my site.

Don't forget to sanitize your HTML using https://github.com/apostrophecms/sanitize-html or upcoming feature: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTML_Sanitizer_API because https://nimb.ws/leTXDt

Vue does not have as much support for Vue as there is for React. Examples are markdown-it, Remark.js, marked.js. But hopefully in the future, there should be more support, and after much research, I picked marked.js because it has the most stars and has zero vulnerability. Marked does not sanitize (meaning it does not secure HTML documents from attacks like cross-site scripting (XSS) ) marked output HTML as that feature is deprecated and has vulnerability but however, it supports the use of other libraries to secure output HTML such as DOMPurify (recommended), sanitize-html or insane.

For B2C, Supabase will get you most of the way for small to medium MAU applications. You might need additional services for analytics and monitoring. If you are building a boom-or-bust B2C company (ex. social media platform, video game, media publication) you should consider using an open-source self-hosted solution like SuperTokens.

How does this compare to supertokens https://supertokens.com/ that supports fastify express, hono, bun, koa, nuxt, react, vue, angular with email password + social login + OTP based login + single sign on all wrapped in a self hostable nice package?

My love for Astro and the web platform is well documented. I've contributed to the docs, I've built some integrations and themes. I recently rediscovered the joy of building with Astro when I made a demo integration with SuperTokens. The ultimate goal for it was to become a part of the create-supertokens-app CLI (published here).

SuperTokens Core Service: This HTTP service talks to your database. It also contains the core logic for authentication. You can self-host with your database (with docker or without Docker or host it with a SuperTokens-managed service.

It all changed when I decided to sit in on an engineering weekly we had at SuperTokens one day. I'm not a part of the team, but I have to be up to date with what they do, so I listen in on their weeklies when I can. The exciting thing discussed there was https://cursor.sh. Rishabh, our CTO, was going on about how good it was making things more productive, so I thought, fine, I'll bite. It wasn't the first time I was told Cursor was really good. I have a friend who's been going on about Cursor for months (hi Vlad), and I was kinda skeptical. So, Vlad, you were right. Cursor is… well, pretty impressive.

How would you compare yourselves to SuperTokens (https://supertokens.com/)? I ask because they’re another open source, YC backed auth system, and one that I’ve quite enjoyed using on a side project.
