In this meeting, the State Changers discuss the state of authentication and subscription management tools in the Xano code space.
- They mention that Xano provides a simple authentication service, while other services like Weweb and auth0 offer more advanced features like social authentication and single sign-on. - The participants agree that it's best to start with simple authentication methods like username and password and then add complexity based on customer feedback and business needs. - They recommend using Xano for authorization, as it offers token-based authorization that is secure and simple to use. - In terms of subscription management, they suggest outsourcing it to platforms like Stripe, recurly, or Chargebee, as building your own billing system can be complex and time-consuming. - The participants also mention Paddle.com as an interesting subscription management option and encourage seeking input from others to gather more experiences and recommendations. - One participant mentions using Zoho subscriptions due to their familiarity with Zoho's other products, but acknowledges that Xano is compatible with multiple subscription management options.
