WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
For example, this app will work in the tray on xorg and it just breaks and doesn't go to tray on wayland. I was the first to discover this problem and the dev doesn't know how to fix it so this app will never work properly on wayland.
Can you be specific about the problems with X11? I've been using X11 for decades and it's been ROCK SOLID. And that is exactly what you want from something so essential. Wayland feels like an expensive boondogle, frankly. Wayland breaks everything and only provides 20% the functionality that X11. It also forces application and DE developers to implement special tools and solutions for wayland which have always been provided as a common interface by X11, like screenshots/ recording and screen sharing, e.g. https://github.com/flathub/us.zoom.Zoom/issues/22
