Secure token authentication for Angular.js and Rails

Angular module: https://github.com/lynndylanhurley/ng-token-auth Rails gem: https://github.com/lynndylanhurley/devise_token_auth I've been working hard to make this the most simple, flexible, and secure token auth system in existence. I believe that I'm close to succeeding. I'd love to hear your thoughts on what I can do to improve what I have so far.

In plain words

This is a token-based authentication system consisting of an Angular.js module and a Rails gem that work together to handle user authentication. Developers building Angular and Rails applications use these tools to implement login and session management.

    I’m Rishabh and the co-founder and CTO at https://supertokens.com (YC S20). We offer open-source user authentication and we just released our user roles product for companies implementing authorization. Our users are web developers, and a prominent and adjacent pain point for our users is authorization. Developers typically implement two independent solutions for authentication and authorization. Offering AuthN and AuthZ in a single solution is something we’ve been thinking about for the last few years. Quick primer, authentication is knowing who the user is, and authorization is…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
