Better Auth
Comprehensive, plugin-based authentication framework for TypeScript apps
Better Auth is an authentication framework for TypeScript that lives inside your app. It is composable and plugin-based, covering email and password, social sign-in, and more. It uses the MIT license and has about 30,000 GitHub stars. At the time of the check, the site announced that Better Auth is joining Vercel.
Use it when you want auth code inside your own app instead of a hosted service. Design the sign-in and sign-up screens yourself, because it ships logic, not UI.
Why it is here. It is a leading self-owned auth option for TypeScript.
