Thanks for sharing!

One question though: What made you avoid lock-in via platforms like supabase but then choose to be locked in on the AuthN/Z side with a proprietary solution?

Fair question. The difference for me: Supabase lock-in is deep (their Postgres extensions, auth hooks, edge functions all intertwined).

Stytch lock-in is shallow (just an API behind a ~200 line adapter).

If I swap Stytch for Ory or Auth0, I rewrite one file. The rest of the app doesn't know the difference.
