- Firebase Auth with ID tokens integrates seamlessly with our Cloudflare Worker proxy — JWT verification via Google's public JWKS is straightforward and well-documented - Firestore's REST API makes it easy to check user plans and track usage counts from edge workers without a heavy SDK - Generous free tier (Spark plan) covers auth + Firestore for early-stage products without upfront cost - Google-backed reliability and scale — no worry about the platform disappearing unlike smaller alternatives like Altogic or Rowy - Battle-tested Auth SDKs for web/mobile with Google, Apple, and email sign-in out of the box

- Ships zero JS by default — fastest page loads compared to Next.js or Docusaurus - Best Core Web Vitals scores out of the box (LCP, CLS, INP) - Content-first architecture with island hydration — only loads JS where interactivity is needed - Framework-agnostic: can use React, Vue, or Svelte components within the same project - Built-in Markdown/MDX support ideal for content-heavy sites - Simpler than Next.js for static/content sites without the overhead of a full React framework

Claude Code understands my entire project context — Electron main process, React renderer, Cloudflare Worker proxy, and Firebase auth — all in one session without re-explaining anything. Unlike Cursor or Copilot which work file-by-file in an IDE, Claude Code operates at the architecture level: it reads, edits, and wires things across multiple files in one go. The terminal-native workflow fits naturally alongside my dev tools. The model quality (Opus) is noticeably better at complex multi-file refactors and getting security-critical code right on the first try compared to alternatives I tried.
