I'm impressed and glad you chose a real Open Source license. I really hope you can make money off of this so it can remain free to use (and I think you can, judging by Auth0's customers)

Also, I assume you can add captchas as a custom theme. Could you add some sample code for that (and other user stories) in your docs/repos? In cases where somebody's got to implement something super quick, and there's a competitor who has really easy to follow docs, sometimes that alone can convert a customer.

The use cases we have for Cognito include: zero-trust authentication portals for services, enterprise SSO, customer portals for applications, session/user management. For Auth0, the same plus API management (including billing, authn+z, etc)




Thank you for your encouragement!

Yes, themes are customizable and anyone can contribute one. Adding captchas is a good idea and I've added it to the list of themes we have in mind. We'll build out a theme with captchas! Regarding sample code on how to do it, please let me revert, will have a look at how captchas work and if easily doable, will add it shortly.

Your current use case for Cognito is beyond what we currently offer or plan to in the near future. However, we'd appreciate it if you follow along and consider SuperTokens for projects where we would be relevant.
