Ive been exploring few authentications method lately.
And suddendly, I have found an interesting solution (that its vibe coded friendly!): Manifest
Manifest
MIT | A backend for modern workflow. 🦚 Code or vibe-code your backend in seconds with Manifest.
Why manifest
Manifest is an Open Source, portable backend that fits into 1 YAML file. Easy for both humans and LLMs to generate and validate.
Host it on any server that can run NodeJS.
Manifest comes with essential features like auth and custom logic, and a built-in admin panel.
Manifest fits great in those type of projects:
🛠️ Rapid prototyping: POCs and MVPs | Turning any entity into an authenticated user is as simple as adding a authenticable: true line to your backend file. 🧩 Micro services: notification, payment, logging, file services… 🏭 CRUD-heavy apps: mobile apps, directories, PIMs, E-shops 🌐 Headless CMS: dynamic corporate websites, portfolios, blogs…
