A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

It is a bit baffling to me that devs are so willing to outsource key components of their app like auth to third parties that have 0 interoperability

Rolling your own auth is not hard nor dangerous today - there are tons of frameworks that give you the exact same devex without the vendor lockin

What’s the best tools/frameworks to build your own auth vs the embedded wallet providers?

my post was actually not referring to embedded wallet providers (that is another discussion). i'm referring to services like clerk and auth0

i've used nextauth in the past with good results. have been seeing a lot of buzz around better-auth recently, but have yet to try it out myself. https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth

for my mini apps i just use lucia auth (a lot more minimal) https://lucia-auth.com/
