So are you also suggesting people serving node backend with express, nestjs, or other servers are using auth.js for that?

But that still makes me wonder about python, rails, and go, which will be just as common for react backends. In those cases, are people not using any react library and delegating to flask/django/rails/etc?

no, i mean you can use auth for a next app and you can implement in server actions or functions as well as client components, a separate backend must implement other strategy or adapt in some way to use the tokens or session from next-auth

I think Zustand is easier to use and understand
