"home built auth system" is bound to have "random SSO issues". You fix them, that's how things mature.
Supabase's auth is MIT licensed and OSS, is it not?

Supabase is OSS but it's a real pain to actually self host it
Couldn’t you get Claude to go into Supabase’s auth code and make your custom like their’s but adapted to your stack?
"Claude, make my custom like their's but adapted to my stack. Make no mistakes"
You’ll have to drive the agent to do it, not a one-shot task. It’ll also require you to understand your codebase.
This is not funny because people are doing that for real.
Exhibit A, mi.
And don’t hallucinate.
Yep, it’s just a drag. It’s not our core product value so any effort we put into it is a drag.
Rather than just use an email solution Google built GMail into a massive email solution despite it not being a core product
Sometimes that's just an opportunity
> ... not being a core product
Technically true, because Google's core product is ads. Also fundamentally wrong, because Gmail serves as a massive source of ad targeting information, in addition to being a high-engagement canvas to display those ads.
Google has not been scanning gmail mails for ad targeting since 2017. I think after 9 years we can finally let that one go.
Ad display I'll still grant you of course.
I don't think we can let that one go so easily, since they might not be scanning for ad targeting (pinky promise?) - but they most certainly will slurp everything up for their AI stuff: https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/products/gmail/gm...
I'm guessing they simply didnt want to spend the time and money doing that
Possibly didn’t want to accept the additional risk that comes with rolling your own auth as well.
