Author here - the specific use case is when you _don't_ have or want server-side logic or a DB. For example on static hosting (hence the name StatiCrypt) like Github pages, Netlify, etc.

That means nothing to maintain, no server cost, no serverless functions to rely on, etc.

But when that's not a constraint there are many different options that might make more sense.

Sure, I’ll give you that use case.

It’s just weird how many people are jumping on this as some new technique when Basic Auth is fully usable in many other cases.
