🗓️ SuperTokens Launch Week Day 5: We rebuilt our docs from scratch. Because "your product is as good as your documentation." It’s a never-ending iterative process, and we feel like we’ve improved ours. Thread 🧵

But structure wasn't enough. We standardized everything: same writing style, same page templates, same organization. We even use Vale (a linting tool) in CI to enforce consistency. No more "every page written by a different person" chaos. 👇

🗓️ SuperTokens Launch Week Day 5: We rebuilt our docs from scratch. Because "your product is as good as your documentation." It’s a never-ending iterative process, and we feel like we’ve improved ours. Thread 🧵

So we did something crazy: we built two entirely different documentation architectures. Spent months on each. Tested both with real users. Compared how people actually navigated vs. how we thought they would. Only then did we pick one. 👇

We tried to personalize everything. Different auth methods got different navigation. Recipes for different use cases. Seemed smart. Result? Navigation chaos. Users couldn't find anything. Good intentions, terrible execution. 👇

🗓️ SuperTokens Launch Week Day 4: WebAuthn and Passkeys 🔐 Because typing passwords is so 2019. And because biometric auth is finally ready for prime time. Thread 🧵

WebAuthn solves this with actual cryptography: • Your device generates a key pair • Private key never leaves your device • Public key goes to the server • Authentication = proving you have the private key No passwords to steal. No credentials to breach. 👇

2/ Stop context-switching between your editor, terminal, and auth dashboard. Just tell your AI: "Create a new admin user" or "Revoke all sessions for user@example.com" It handles the rest. Securely.

CLI Update: Remember that onboarding flow from earlier today? Our new CLI is what makes those tailored demos possible. We rebuilt create-supertokens-app to actually create apps you can use as a starting point OR as a learning tool. Thread 🧵

The bigger vision: This standardization is step one toward `supertokens add email-password` in any existing project. Imagine adding auth to your current app with one command. Any framework, any setup. That's where we're heading. 👇

The config compiler breakthrough: Instead of maintaining 20+ different config files, we built a system that generates the right setup based on your choices. Pick React + Node? You get React SDK configs. Pick Vue + Python? You get Vue + Python configs. One source of truth, infinite combinations. 👇

❓ The problem: when you name something "create-something-app", people expect it to create apps they can use as a starting point. While it sort-of did that, the intent behind it was different, which influenced the direction and design choices of the tool. 👇
