Bereket Here

the team at Vercel has been my biggest inspiration and always reflected many of the reasons we started working on Better Auth. This would allow us to focus more on what made better-auth great in the first place It hasn't even been 2 years since we started but thank you everyone from the open-source community for helping us make an impact in short amount of time. There is a lot to do to improve on open source auth and im really excited to be back focusing full time on building

what will be your role at Vercel? Aren't you afraid that you might lose control over the project's future - becoming a cog in a much more complex system?
Hi Bereket,

Congratulations on the acquisition!

We are building auth for developing markets (secure MFA for users without smartphones).

Would love to get your thoughts on the auth landscape.

I'm +254-seven-zero-seven-144992 on WhatsApp.

Cheers!

You're saying that BetterAuth will remain 100% free and open source, will continue to be maintained, and unlocked from Vercels ecosystem?
You are asking the wrong person.
Yeah, Vercel has already done this before like with Nuxt, Svelte and other. But I also do want to have a better story for auth with all those frameworks and Nextjs as well.
