Show HN: Limen – modern, composable auth for Go

Category: library

Score: 6.3/10 (Innovation: 5, Technical: 7, Documentation: 7, Utility: 6)

Limen is a plugin-first authentication library for Go that lets developers compose exactly the auth methods they need (password, OAuth, 2FA) without framework lock-in. It brings the composable UX of better-auth to Go with secure defaults, type-safe plugins, and adapter support for multiple databases and web frameworks. The project is early-stage but fills a clear gap in the Go ecosystem.

Target audience: backend devs
