Clerk gives you more than just a "sign-in box". You get a complete set of User Management UIs and APIs, including a powerful Admin Dashboard. Purpose-built for React, Next.js, and the Modern Web. Finally, an auth service that "just works".

@bsid Hey B well done, the updates sound great. I’m curious to know If you fixed the integration with Supabase Auth? The last time I checked the integration wasn’t as tight as it could be, but you mentioned that you guys were working on improving it
Paul Rusyn
@bsid Congrats, good luck 🚀 If you need some help with the logo and brand identity, feel free to contact me!

@bsid @techronin Hey James here from Clerk. Our Supabase integration work with both 2.0+ and the previous version. Currently, our documentation reflects only 1.0, but we are working on updating them to reflect them. If you have any questions about how to implement feel free to send me a message on Discord or Twitter.

I have been a clerk user for six months after swapping from another provider. The team and product are excellent. Many of the edge cases that come with auth have been thought about, and their SDKs are everything you need for getting quick off the ground or building a completely custom UI 🚀

This has been one of my favourite product, I've been following it since its initial launch and really got hooked. Got so many people to use it in their project and they found it super cool & easy to use. It has almost every feature one will ever need to build auth flow, & I love the UI comes with it. Congrats on the launch and this extra-ordinary product. <3

@ravisojitra Thanks so much for your early support! Let us know if we're ever missing an auth feature you need – we're working to move from "almost every" to "every" in the next year.

Beautiful product that allows me to have authentication in my products in literally minutes!

@francesco_ambrosiano Thanks Francesco! "literally minutes" has been our goal from the start. We hate when minutes unexpectedly turns from hours to weeks and built our ‹SignUp/›, ‹SignIn/›, and ‹UserProfile/› components to truly deliver on that promise.

We've been Clerk customers for over a year now and I'm so happy with what they've built! Having used different authentication providers in the past it's nice to finally have one that makes things so easy, for us to build with and for our customers to use. We've had a number of feature requests during the year that their team was quick to act on - it's always great to see a product evolving as quickly as Clerk does

@davidnewell95 So happy to have Unflow as an early customer! We really appreciate your feedback over the past year – it's helped us make things even easier 😃

I once was a PM working on user roles and authentication. It's a massive headache to manage if you don't think of it from the beginning of the database model and UX. What companies are you focused on, @bsid? I assume B2B SaaS is core.

@rrhoover Hey Ryan, thanks for checking us out, big fan! Yes.. it's a massive headache, especially when you need to consider SAML/SCIM/AD/etc. tldr; We'll be releasing our B2B feature set next month, look out for us on PH again soon ;) long version: We think "auth" is agnostic and should be able to apply to any type of company. We also see the B2B SaaS use case a superset of the "normal" B2C authentication feature-set. Our first pitch was actually strictly focused on B2B SaaS because their pain is quite a bit larger, however, by taking on "session management as a service" and strictly defining our "User object", we are able to dramatically improve the DX, and offer useful features like the <UserProfile /> and User Impersonation out of the box. This took longer to build than expected, and thus, we haven't released oorgs yet. Next up is the "Organization" object, and the accompanying <OrganizationProfile /> and <OrganizationSwitcher /> UIs. To power these, we'll need to know just enough about our customers roles and permissions to display them in the org profile as a drop-down (i.e. "Admin", "Editor", "Viewer", etc.) and which roles are allowed to invite and manage other members. Getting the abstraction right while staying out of the way of the developer is and always will be the core focus.

Congrats on the launch, how is this different than 0auth?
Colin Sidoti

@mustapha_ajermou1 The main differentiator is that Clerk has better support for React developers. We also go beyond the simple sign-up/sign-in and provide complete user profile pages - so your users can easily change their profile picture, setup 2fa, manage their devices, and more

We use Clerk for our Shopify app and it's taking a ton of the hassle out of authentication and user management. Can't recommend them enough.
