I think there's a huge, growing need for this and your sdk/api's seem very well-thought!

As for the design of your site, it definitely leaves me assuming it's just an auth service. I'd focus more on showing psuedo example interfaces / flows that your service powers. For instance, show an example client app on the left, your sdk drops in, on the right your integrations UX showing all the apps you can now integrate with.

I'm reminded of the copy & explanatory / storytelling on this site: https://www.freshpaint.io/

Instead of "Codelessly connect your site to your stack" they could've said "Enterprise-grade analytics with less configuration." But they went with a phrase that does more to highlight how their offering is new and brings a new form of value.

Maybe a/b test your one-liner? Some ideas:

"Add 25+ SaaS integrations to your app. We take care of the authentication."

"The first low-code, secure way to add SaaS integrations FAST."

"A new, low-code way to add 25+ SaaS integrations to your app."

"Less time re-implementing auth, more time building features."

"A faster, more secure approach to integrations."

Good luck!

Thanks for the kind words.

I agree we need to re-think our home page a bit. We initially focused on "OAuth" to really get specific about what we do, but it's had the unfortunate side effect of making us seem like an auth provider.

I like the idea of specific examples, and your headline ideas are great!
