Comment on Ask HN: What type of Auth are you using on your side projects?

Comments

no auth at all

Haha, that's the best way to do it if you can swing it. It's like writing no code.

Unfortunately many apps tie data to users and need to persist it across devices, which makes some kind of login functionality required.

I wonder how many apps could get by being front end only (static site) and delegating auth+storage to dropbox (and similar).

Yeah, that's a good question. Did the jamstack folks solve this?

https://www.reddit.com/r/JAMstack_dev/comments/haf3h0/user_a... seems interesting in this context.

it can be persisted locally and synced to other devices via p2p. It should be doable, similar to screen sharing in etherpad but i have not yet hashed out a complete solution.
