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.
I’m always surprised to remember that mingw32/64 has a dependency on MSVCRT (or now UCRT, I guess).
Given how sparse the C standard library is and how much effort went into/goes into mingw, Cygwin, msys2, and co; you’d assume they would just use the native Win32 APIs and supplement with unversioned/undocumented plain MSVCRT.DLL that is always available on all versions of Windows [0].

I believe it's this: https://github.com/brechtsanders/winlibs_recipes (MIT) combined with https://github.com/brechtsanders/winlibs_tools (GPLv2). Although as a drive-by observer, if the quality of those "recipes" (and the idea that one needed to cowboy up some shell scripts to build all that stuff versus using a more formal build system) is any indication, I am for sure not the target audience of this project

I also had no idea one could have "No commit message" since git has always given me the finger:
$ git commit --allow-empty -F/dev/null
