  • •Supports 7+ platforms from single codebase using wasmJs, JVM, native Kotlin targets
  • •Thoughtful module structure with KStore for data persistence across ecosystems
Weaknesses
  • •Blog post describes architecture; unclear if project is actually shipped or production-ready
  • •No GitHub link, no binary downloads visible; reads more like technical essay than released product

Seamless Auth – open-source passwordless authentication

Implements real WebAuthn/passkey support plus OTP and HTTP-only cookie session validation, and exposes JWKS and token endpoints — plus an npx create-seamless scaffold and Docker Compose so you can stand up the stack in minutes. The repo deliberately focuses on the auth engine (no admin UI or hosted control plane), which makes it easy to audit and integrate; still, the space is crowded with Ory/Keycloak/Supabase, so this is best if you specifically want a lean, self-hostable passwordless core.
