The short version of where things stand now: SpartanAuth is a real auth service I use in several of my own applications. I&rsquo;m still writing here when I learn something worth sharing — passwords, passkeys, login UX, and the tradeoffs you hit when auth has to work for real users.</p> <div class="stat-row"> <figure class="stat-card stat-card--compact"> <div class="stat-card-value">Auth notes</div> <figcaption class="stat-card-label">Passwords, passkeys, MFA, login UX</figcaption></figure> <figure class="stat-card stat-card--compact"> <div class="stat-card-value">Real product</div> <figcaption class="stat-card-label">SpartanAuth in apps I actually run</figcaption></figure> </div> <p>One clarification up front: <strong>SpartanAuth itself is not open source.</strong> The <strong>login widget library</strong> is, and I&rsquo;m proud of that. The core product is how I&rsquo;m building a sustainable business through Masonite Studios while still giving developers something solid to plug in.</p> <div class="stat-row"> <figure class="stat-card stat-card--compact"> <div class="stat-card-value">Core</div> <figcaption class="stat-card-label">Not open source — the business product</figcaption></figure> <figure class="stat-card stat-card--compact"> <div class="stat-card-value">Widget</div> <figcaption class="stat-card-label">Open source — inspect what you embed</figcaption></figure> </div> <p>If you want the product, head to <a href="https://www.spartanauth.com">spartanauth.com</a>.
