Why is Convex Auth still such a pain with SvelteKit?š¤
Iāve been building a webapp with SvelteKit and tried to use Convex for auth.
Result? Iāve spent almost two weeks and still couldnāt get it working. Maybe Iām just bad at this ā I usually do āvibe codingā ā but with Supabase or InstantDB I can hand-roll auth in an afternoon.
I donāt understand why something this basic has to be reinvented by every developer, and why Convex still doesnāt ship an official, one-click solution. Is it a lack of resources? Or am I supposed to just switch to React, or move everything to Supabase?
To be fair: Convexās dev experience is much nicer than Supabase once you get past auth ā single source of truth for types, no double-managing schemas, way less mental overhead. That part is amazing.
But auth is table stakes. I just need something simple, like Google login + OTP. I donāt want to waste my life wrestling with the basics.
Has anyone found a way to get Convex Auth + SvelteKit working in an afternoon? Please tell me thereās a sane solution.
