Hey HN! Happy to finally launch Stack. We made it because we like to put apps into production quickly, and authentication & user management was taking up way too much time. We have components like and that automatically adapt to whatever theme & design system you're using. Check the blog post to see the example with Radix UI and Joy UI. Also, there's an admin dashboard for monitoring and editing accounts. Stack is 100% AGPL/MIT-licensed, so you can self-host it. Cheers!

Hi HN, my name is Philip, I’m the co-founder of Glasskube and one of the creators of HyprMCP. This project started when we did what everyone was doing — building a remote MCP server and launching it. Building the first local MCP server for testing was quite simple, and we had our first tools ready within a day. The next step was turning that into a production-ready remote MCP server. As we exposed the MCP server to our users, we wanted to authenticate them with our existing authentication methods. We dove deep into authentication. Our approach was to build an auth proxy and plug it in front…

LoginLlama▲95Hey HN I recently rebuilt my microsaas Loginllama. It uses the same stack but I've made the API much much better and it's now a product I'm happy to promote. As with most developers I hide behind building instead of marketing. As this a developer focused product, this is me marketing! It's a product built in anger for myself when I had to implement a similar system for a number of clients. I released it as I assume that other people had the same problem. There are SDK's available for Nodejs, PHP and Python. Auth0 and Wordpress integrations are coming soon. Let me know what you think and if…

I can't tell if HN is the right kind of place for this stuff anymore since people are so advanced in their use but I thought it was interesting to leverage my existing Go microservices framework and turn it into the core of what would provide tools for an agent cli or whatever beyond that. Extensibility is key. Thought I'd share and get a conversation going.

Hey all Sharing a new piece of work I've been doing with a friend. Mu is a new micro web app platform which enables building and sharing apps instantly with storage, auth and payments built in. Apps are single file, built in the browser and rendered as an iframe. They're "micro" because they're quite literally tiny single purpose utilities like a hackernews reader or old school guest book. It's mostly at this point something that scratches a personal itch. Making app development super simple and lightweight. Sort of like living GitHub gists. And trying to build a simpler, cleaner place to…
