Better Auth, by a self-taught Ethiopian dev, raises $5M from Peak XV, YC

Can anyone compare Better Auth with something more barebones like Lucia?

Lucia has been converted into a kind of tutorial, which is another way of saying the author is going to college now and is busy or interested in other things.

As an aside OpenAuth seems dead. No activity for 2 months.

No activity for 2 months implies death?

Is this the core reason that we have a proliferation of packages, arguably doing the same thing, slightly differently, in some ecosystems… We’ve become this impatient?

No activity for nearly 3 months with 67 open issues, 32 open PRs (many as simple as "fix typo") might signify that not a lot of time is being put into the project.

no lucia author has himself said that he s deprecating this https://github.com/lucia-auth/lucia/discussions/1707
