EngagePlus: Lightweight Authentication for Developers

Drop-in OAuth widget that syncs users to YOUR database

🎯 Why EngagePlus vs Auth0/Clerk/Firebase?

EngagePlus stores users in YOUR database. Auth0/Clerk store users in THEIR database (then you duplicate to yours).

Perfect for:

  • Developers who want one source of truth (your DB)
  • Projects that don't need a full identity provider
  • Apps that just need "Login with Google/GitHub"
  • Teams avoiding vendor lock-in
  • Privacy-first applications

⚡ 3-Line Integration

<!-- 1. Add widget script -->
<script src="https://engageplus.app/widget.js"></script>

<!-- 2. Add widget container -->
<div id="engageplus-widget"></div>

<!-- 3. Initialize (replace YOUR_CLIENT_ID) -->
<script>
  window.EngagePlus.init({
    clientId: 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID',
    containerId: 'engageplus-widget',
    onSuccess: (tokens) => {
      // User authenticated! tokens.accessToken available
      console.log('Logged in:', tokens);
    }
  });
</script>

That's it! User data automatically syncs to your database via webhook or direct integration.
