Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Based around React components which can be customized with CSS variables, inline CSS or Tailwind. Build custom flows with social signin, SSO, organizations, and MFA. Everything is available as an API for integration into backend code (there’s also a Go SDK). Has helpers for e2e testing using Cypress.

Tradeoffs

Backend SDKs are only available for Go, Ruby, and JS - you’ll need to use the API for everything else.
