       | Authentik and have been pretty impressed with it.

         | Agreed. The old angular might be the peak of JS frameworks.
         | Which industry are you in?

       | 
       | Of course, we're the kind of company that think the less code and
       | processes we have to be audited for, for, say, SOC2, the better.
       | Which is pretty much every company, I assume.
       | 
       | Please I'd very much appreciate diverse opinions on that topic.

       | Logto is now in public beta. We're working hard on more
       | improvements, SDKs, and connectors. Feel free to drop your
       | comments or needs.
       | 
       | Hope the official release of Logto will meet you soon.
