  • Dear hosters, you are selling wood, not furniture
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 19 Mar 2025
    > If someone tries to program this themselves, they either do it incorrectly (or not well enough) or keep an expert busy for weeks and weeks.

    Or they could set up something like https://goauthentik.io/? (Shameless plug: if you use my Docker dashboard, https://lunni.dev/, you can install it in a couple clicks from the Marketplace.) Or any other open source option – there are dozens at this point.

    And honestly speaking, auth isn’t that hard in the first place. You do have to remember a few things, but if you follow something like https://lucia-auth.com/ it shouldn’t take you more than an hour to set up some decent auth with 2FA and OIDC support. A bit more time to implement sign-in rate limiting and email verification and you have a robust system that (a) works in a way that you understand and (b) you can reuse between projects without paying a dime.

  • Hacking Hono: The Ins and Outs of Validation Middleware
    3 projects | dev.to | 3 Feb 2025
    I’m currently having a lot of fun building auth into a Hono app using the new Lucia Auth guide, which is an awesome resource if you want to roll your own auth, or just learn more. I’m still ironing out some kinks, but I look forward to publishing an article on Hono auth in the coming months!
  • Long Term Software Development
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 22 Dec 2024
    The issue I take with this stance is that people reading will put auth in the "too scary to implement" bucket mentally, and think it's fine to pay the Auth0 tax on every single project, even one with a few users.

    This is a great resource to learn how to write it yourself, and things to take into consideration: https://lucia-auth.com/

    IMO, this is one thing to implement carefully if need be (vs avoid altogether, as is the case of cryptography).

  • Placegoose: Building data APIs with HONC
    4 projects | dev.to | 9 Dec 2024
    As a mock data API, Placegoose didn’t have a clear need for auth, or any kind of user or token management. Nonetheless, these are indispensable components of a secure data API. Hono offers some simple auth middleware, but if you need a more robust solution, or if you’re interested in rolling your own, I highly recommend Lucia Auth, an open source learning resource for session-based auth. They provide great guidelines, and examples for most common frameworks.

  • Better Auth – The most comprehensive authentication library for TypeScript
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 29 Nov 2024
    Does anyone have experience with https://lucia-auth.com ? OP says that it's deprecated, but it seems like it just moved from a library to a short guide on how to implement auth yourself.

    I'm planning to migrate our authentication and session management from auth0 to this to save costs and make things simpler.

  • 🦸 OSS Heroes: Pilcrow, a student who built Lucia - auth library with 9.5k stars on GitHub ⭐ 🇯🇵
    2 projects | dev.to | 30 Oct 2024
    Lucia is one of the open-source tools that we use under the hood at Wasp, a Laravel-like framework for React & Node.js. It has grown to 9.5K stars on GitHub since October 2023. Although Lucia itself will be deprecated as a library in 2025 and converted into a learning resource, Pilcrow is also working on other projects related to auth, such as Copenhagen and Oslo. You can learn more about his work and projects on his blog.
