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.
The big feature in the next alpha will be the ability to create tokens that have a subset of permissions - eg can only write to specific tables: https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1855
But maybe a mechanism for easily specifying that for anonymous localhost users would be useful too?
I'm really pleased with the Hacker News scraping demo in this - it's an extension of the scraper I wrote back in March, using shot-scraper to execute JavaScript in headless Chrome and write the resulting JSON back to a Git repo: https://simonwillison.net/2022/Mar/14/scraping-web-pages-sho...
My new demo also then pipes that data up to Datasette using curl -X POST - this script here: https://github.com/simonw/scrape-hacker-news-by-domain/blob/...
