Possible to turn off auth?

[msabramo]

Hi @bracesproul! Nice project!

My colleagues and I were trying to get open-canvas running locally and still haven't fully gotten it working.

I noticed that Auth was added in 091c071#diff-73d7a23e5015801b9bcc9db601d6ec9594d3eb34e5bb23154e0ae4b0c30f1a3b and now it requires Supabase, another dependency.

Is it possible to turn off auth so we don't have to have a dependency on Supabase for installs on our laptops? It seems like this might've made a project that is somewhat challenging to get up and running even more challenging to get up and running, unless you have some tips?

hey @msabramo turning off auth would require some significant code changes, and is not something I'd want committed to this repo (you'd be free to do it on a fork though!).

I'll be updating the readme later today with a new video demonstrating how to setup the project with auth enabled.

So sad to hear this. This will block a lot of users, imho

I agree with @ai-jz , adding auth is out of the scope of the tool itself, and choosing one auth method over another is just arbitrary, and will definitely clash with most other environments. So, as it stands, if you happen to use Supabase already in your system, then you are good. Otherwise, like me, I can't even start it :-(

Here’s what I've accomplished so far #144. Please review and let me know if it's ready/can be merge.

By the way, I’m not very experienced with Java and TypeScript, but with some help from the new Claude, I managed to get it working.
