The problem it solves

Building your own login system from scratch means handling passwords securely, checking for duplicate accounts, and issuing secure sessions correctly. Getting any of that wrong can expose your users' data or lock people out of their own accounts.

Who it fits

Founders or teams building a custom app or website who need a login system without a full engineering team.

How it works

  1. Starts when a new user submits their email and password to sign up
  2. Checks whether that email is already registered, and securely hashes the password before saving it
  3. On login, verifies the submitted password against the stored one and issues a secure access token
  4. Uses that token to let logged-in users view or update their own account details
What you get

A login system built once, not rebuilt

You get secure sign-up, login, and password handling built into your app, with user data stored safely in Airtable so you can launch without an engineering team.

What you get

A working sign-up and login system with secure password handling and session tokens, backed by Airtable.

What you need

An Airtable account and a webhook-capable hosting setup.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
