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 had a quick scan of the box2d algo and it looks like they're side-stepping the whole issue of finding the furthest away point by using a slight variation of the algo compared to the video (or maybe they just use intrinsic properties of how they store their polygons outsourcing the complexity; I haven't looked at the code in too much detail). also, they're caching the simplexes so it speeds up significantly if you do repeated checks (e.g., every frame) on the same objects.
