I talk to founders every week and the pattern repeats. The team needs login, someone says "how hard can a login form be," and two quarters later they are maintaining an identity system nobody wanted to own and the actual roadmap is on fire.
The problem is that auth looks like one feature but it is actually five products stacked on top of each other:
Every sign-in method your users expect (passkeys alone took our team over 800 engineering hours to get production ready)
Session management that survives a real security review, which arrives with 40 questions you have not thought about
Token infrastructure, issuance, rotation, revocation, the part that pages someone at 2am
Permissions, because plain roles stop working the moment your product grows
And now identity for AI agents acting on behalf of your users, which no in-house auth from two years ago was designed for
Each of these is somebody's entire company. Your team will build all five as a side quest, and then maintain them forever.
the one year free offer for startups is honestly such a smart move, basically lets you build the whole stack without cobbling together five different auth tools.

Congrats on the launch identity is one of those problems that only looks simple until you have to build it yourself Really Building authentication and identity is never as straightforward as it seems Excited to see products taking a fresh approach here Congratulations to the team and hope you have a fantastic launch

one layer for users + agents is smart 👏 auth is def heading this way

@petrkovacik Thanks Petr! Agreed, once agents started acting for users the split between "user auth" and "machine auth" stopped making sense. Curious how you're handling it at Macaly, are the apps people build getting agent access into their stack yet?
