One post tagged with "authentication"

As someone who has worked on multiple web projects, I’ve found user authentication to be a recurring pain point. Whether I was integrating a third-party auth provider like Supabase, or worse — rolling my own auth system — I often found myself rewriting the same boilerplate:

• Configuring JWTs

• Decoding tokens from headers

• Serializing them back

• Hashing passwords

• Validating login credentials

And that’s not even touching error handling, route wiring, or OpenAPI documentation.

So I built lihil-auth, a plugin system that makes user authentication a breeze. It supports both third-party platforms like Supabase and self-hosted solutions using JWT — with minimal effort.
