I built an open-source and serverless authentication system

I built Oxidiko because I was tired of seeing companies lose millions of passwords to sloppy authentication systems that were never designed for privacy or modern threats. I’m Jonathan, a 17-year-old developer and security enthusiast, and I wanted to create a simpler, more secure, and privacy-first way to log in. Oxidiko reduces the attack surface by eliminating central password storage, encrypting all vault data locally, and making the user’s identity portable — so even if your server is breached, there’s nothing meaningful to steal. It uses WebAuthn (passkeys) combined with a PIN fallback…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

I built Oxidiko because I was tired of seeing companies lose millions of passwords to sloppy authentication systems that were never designed for privacy or modern threats. I’m Jonathan, a 17-year-old developer and security enthusiast, and I wanted to create a simpler, more secure, and privacy-first way to log in. Oxidiko reduces the attack surface by eliminating central password storage, encrypting all vault data locally, and making the user’s identity portable — so even if your server is breached, there’s nothing meaningful to steal. It uses WebAuthn (passkeys) combined with a PIN fallback to generate a unique oxidiko_id — like a passport you actually have to prove you own. The vault is encrypted with keys derived from both, and either can unlock it securely. No more giant plaintext databases, no more vendor lock-in. Just fast, open-source, zero-knowledge authentication that puts users back in control.

    Effortless Authentication for Your Web Application2022 · ▲6

    Hey folks, Michael here. I have been working in this project on and of for about a year and a half and I finally got it into a state where I can share it. I initially started this project to learn Rust and afterwards decided to make it useful for others. Vulpo Auth is an authentication server that you can host yourself. The goal was to make it as easy as possible for you to get started and have a complete authentication solution without you having to configure anything. Project Website: https://auth.vulpo.dev The Project contains: - Auth Server (Rust) - Admin Dashboard - JS and…

    Today marks ten years, 3653 consecutive days, of running at least one mile every day under the USRSA rules [1]. To celebrate, I built an interactive dashboard that turns a decade of GPX files into charts you can explore. Running has truly changed my life: I've made lifelong friends, explored beautiful places, and more importantly invested into my own health and fitness, which I'm starting to see the positive benefits as I get older. The stack is pretty simple: a NextJS app, with a Postgres database to keep all my running data, and all the stats are pre-computed and cached in Redis, so I…

    Made this website as an exercise in vibe-coding and GCP. It was posted about a few times around the internet, on sites like Morning Brew (https://www.morningbrew.com/issues/business-buzzkill), MetaFilter (https://www.metafilter.com/209703/Draw-A-Fish), boingboing.net, etc. I think it's cute! I built a basic CNN trained against penises and swastikas, and then anything that doesn't hit the 63% confidence score gets sent to a mod queue, a vibe-coded fish-tinder…
