This looks great! But it says it’s FOSS and that I can host it myself, but the link to GitHub in the docs doesn’t show any repos. Is it somewhere else?
+1 - anybody happen to have a fork?

This is awesome! Been waiting for something like this to replace the bloated SDK Amazon provides. Important question— is there a pathway to getting signed URLs?

Have been a proud better auth user for the last 6 months! Loved it so far, especially the fact that it's FOSS. Now that it's a venture-funded YC company, I am worried about using it. Should I be?

We're entering the age where having private, personal space is becoming almost impossible. If you have a conversation around your phone, you best believe that government actors can tap that mic. If you have a conversation at home, either your "smart" TV, fridge, or Google Home / Alexa is listening. Now, cars are just becoming tablets on wheels.
In my Tesla, I am quite literally, being watched every time I drive. There is a tiny camera behind the rearview mirror. I have to assume that my vehicle will collect data that could be used against me in court. It's a weird shift, going from a completely analog & disconnected vehicle now to an internet-connected tracking device. You truly think about every move -- e.g. "Gee, I hope my insurance company doesn't misinterpret this 'hard braking event' as me being an irresponsible driver."

Maybe we're getting to saturation in early adopter market? Looking around, there are a lot of folks who could not easily live with a BEV, i.e. live in apartment buildings or don't have an easy way to install L2 charging at home.
I built www.letselectrify.org as a side project to make it easier for people in multifamily buildings (condos, apartments, and HOAs) to get their own dedicated EV chargers.
In multifamily buildings, such as my 85-unit condo, there isn’t any at-home charging. At best, there is one shared charger for the community to use.
This sucks for several reasons: 1. You have to remember to move your car when it’s done charging, 2. The HOA is stuck paying the bill for all the electricity, and 3. As more and more people get electric cars, shared chargers don’t scale.
The most common Homeowner Association (HOA) objections to adding more charging: 1. It costs too much, and 2. Nobody wants this.
HOAs are generally risk-averse and don’t want to spend money on discretionary things like EV charging. This means that the only way for residents to conveniently own an electric car is to pay out of pocket (sometimes up to $20k) to install a single charger, which usually also requires the HOA to approve on a case-by-case basis.
Instead of all these one-off installs, letselectrify.org combines everyone that wants a charger into one campaign and lets them split the cost of installation, which ends up being much cheaper.

IP noob here- can someone explain what this means?
Simple but effective tool! The documentation looks great. Thanks for open sourcing it

one annoying one that's notably missing: There's no way to get rid of the Music.app, and the play/pause hardware button on my M2 macbook is always mapped to that app.
I inadvertently press this button all the time and it launches Music.app, taking about 1/4th of the 8gb of shared memory

A simple application that serves a purpose and addresses something people want to do. So... nice job.
I wish people wouldn't abuse video sites and services to post audio-only content, though. That's what SoundCloud is for.
agree, it seems inefficient. I have friends that use YouTube as their main music subscription platform though. With YouTube premium I think you can close out of the app and still have it play music. I would hope that YouTube is smart enough to not buffer video when you're out of the app for long enough.
