I want to see a good identity and user manager SaaS oriented towards smaller customers. There used to be Stormpath, which was pretty amazing, but they got bought by Okta, which is less friendly to small teams and more enterprise oriented.

I'm working on https://github.com/fiatjaf/accountd.xyz, which is basically a universal association of profiles (identified by a username) with accounts on "silos" like twitter, github, trello and email addresses in general. You can use it either for user login or to post-association of accounts with profiles. There's no documentation, but you can see it working on https://sitios.xyz/ and https://sitios.xyz/trello.

Do you think it is interesting somehow?

This is not quite what I had in mind, but it's quite interesting. One recommendation: don't use a username, that approach has a number of flaws you can easily avoid here.
Doesn't auth0 fill this role?
Ah yes, possibly; looked at them about a year ago when their product was still incomplete, will have to check them again.

But in any case it would be good to have some competition in that space.

Are you talking about something like AWS Cognito, or Firebase Authentication?
Like userlist.io ?
