Minimalist TypeScript auth library — just session management, you control the rest. The author deprecated the library in 2024 in favour of "learn auth yourself" guides.
The pilcrow author decided in 2024 that Lucia was abstracting too much — instead they published the "Copenhagen Book" (a free auth textbook) and recommended writing auth code yourself with plain code. The newer "Better Auth" (Bekacru) took over as the preferred lightweight alternative in 2024+. The Lucia repo was archived but existing projects keep running.
