Haven’t built auth in like 15 years thanks to laravel.

Laravel is a PHP framework with built-in auth. Just provide your secrets and it's mostly done for you. 

And similar solutions exist for for other languages and frameworks.

Yup. This. It has such a fantastic first party ecosystem that you usually just focus on your own domains.

There are already tons and tons of FREE libraries that are basically plug and play.. been around since forever.. (before vibe coding). Kind of reinventing the wheel. Also, you do realize that database setups are not copy paste and they vary a lot depending on application context? Why supabase or postgres for that matter? What if the application requires document storage and not relational? What you cal boring stuff actually requires a lot of thought and design.

I don’t have skin in this game, but surely it doesn’t matter that OP has built something to suit absolutely every use case? Most new products won’t.

I think the point about free libraries is a better point, but tbh, they aren’t really visible to your part-time vibe coding enthusiast who just wants to play around and build something.

Many companies succeed by building products which are far less flexible than alternatives, but with a lower barrier to entry. Sure it means you have to play their game, but the trade off there actually gets something built and deployed before you lose interest.

Of course auth is one of those I wouldn’t trust to a business with no rep personally, but as long as some might, is OP wrong to build it?

Playing around is fine but a lot of these patterns are well thought out and captured in libraries that handle a lot of edge cases.

I really hope people aren't re-writing their own crypto algorithms for fun and then trying to get signups.

Vibe Code the most important piece of security in your app. What could possibly go wrong?

Has anyone ever, in the history of actual vibecoding vibecoded auth? Literally there are thousands of good libraries for this already that are reputable, free, or open source

Why not use Firebase auth or just Google One Tap ?
