👋 Hey, I'm Micha

I'm building open-source authentication and authorization tools for the Convex + Svelte ecosystem — so developers can own their user and organization management without relying on third-party services.

For years, hosted auth providers made setup easy — but at the cost of control, privacy, and cost transparency.
My goal is to make self-hosted, plug-and-play auth just as easy — starting with Svelte, and soon expanding to React, admin dashboards, and other community-requested features.

I'm doing this full-time because I believe developers should own their tools — and that sustainable open-source is the future of web development.

If you find my work helpful, please consider supporting it ❤️
Your sponsorship helps me keep building, maintaining, and documenting everything for free.

@mmailaender

This goal covers my minimum monthly expenses so I can dedicate my full time to building open, self-hosted authentication and organization management for Svelte + Convex — expanding to React next. At this level, I can focus entirely on improving, documenting, and supporting these tools long-term, keeping them stable and free for everyone.
