Thanks for the kind words - really appreciate it! And yes, it connects directly to your existing setup (the dashboard is mostly just a UI). What you’re really “buying” from us are the additional features on the dashboard like bot protection, analytics, etc...when you need them. We’re still figuring out the pricing, but most likely, the base dashboard will just be free ;)

Awesome! I used Better Auth for consulting work helping clients build MVPs, and if I could hand them a beautiful admin dashboard rather than linking it up to Retool or their BI tool of choice, they would instantly go for it - especially with all the bot protection and analytics features that I don't have time to build.

One of the reasons I prefer BA is because I retain a lot of flexibility with designing the rest of the system around the authentication. So for example, if I want to have an additional column per user, it's a lot easier to wrap my head around adding a new Postgres column than using some API for appending data to a user in Cognito/Auth0/Okta/etc in some rigid format.
