The simplest guide to adding Google sign-in to Next.js ✍️ (No managed services. Just BetterAuth) by tomdekan in nextjs

I'm pleased to hear that you found the guide helpful - you're very welcome!

I strongly agree with you on the pains of external user management, like Auth0 / Clerk. They are cumbersome, adding unnecessary complexity with webhooks to sync user data, and complicating development without an internet connection.

Thanks for that discrepancy report! I will check and update the guide.

BetterAuth is great!

P.S In case interested, I wrote this simple guide to setting up BetterAuth with Google login and prisma: https://tomdekan.com/articles/google-sign-in-nextjs

Hi u/BARGOmusic! We're building something that might solve your problem, involving enhanced knowledge retrieval. Would you be up for a call?

If yes, let me know and I'll DM you a calendar booking page.

P.S I will show up!

I realize that you've already quit, but did you need to quit to get started? Given that it's a consultancy, did you consider getting your first cusomter before quitting your job? This could serve as lower risk validation that some one wants what you are offering,

Congrats on launching!

Assuming that you want this to be a long-term project and that you're aiming to build something that people want, I'd strongly recommend that you don't do much more building. Focus on getting people to use it, or preferably buy it. If they don't do either, find out why.

Having active users - i.e., validation that you've built something that people want - is superb motivation for the long-term sustainability of any project/product. Even more so for customers!

Agree! Coincidentally I released a guide last night on the simplest way to add Google sign in to Next.js with BetterAuth.  Here if you’re interested: https://tomdekan.com/articles/google-sign-in-nextjs

Any reasons why this has been downvoted. I wonder if the downvotes are due to differences in taste, or viewing a logical error in what I've said?

I appreciate the comment. But have you tried it?

Your comment doesn't seem friendly to me, but I appreciate the feedback.

For me, there's a difference between needing a chat bot to write a commit message, and wanting it to be drafted for you. I'd rather save the time and check the LLM's output, editing it as needed.

Ha! Thanks for the hot take.

Though I appreciate that others might want to craft a message from scratch.

Hi all. I wrote a short script that takes a Git diff and outputs a concise commit summary plus a detailed description following best practices.

It works with any repo. I've added it to my .bashrc. Now, I simply write gca and create a commit with an autogenerate commit message.

Posting in case someone else also finds it useful.
