The top page of https://www.userapp.io/ looks great. However, it leaves me wondering who your service is actually for.

I'm a web developer, so login, sign-up, and user storage are my bread and butter, and I can use open source plugins for handling this, so your target is someone who has more challenges for adding this functionality.

Mobile app creators could be one niche, and if so, something like "User Management for Mobile Apps" could help such developers understand your product is for them.

Yes, we are working on that :) The user authentication stuff maybe take a few hours/days to get in place for a experiences developer. However, what we want to focus on is everything else around user management. That's why we are building an add-on store for third-party integrations. Some example cases that we could solve:

* If you have users, you might want to sync them to e.g. MailChimp.

* You would probably want to charge them for using your app, so you would need to integrate a payment provider, calculate payments, creating price plans, etc. UserApp already takes care of all that except the payment processing, which will come as add-ons later.

* Social login (OAuth) to support login from Facebook, Twitter etc.

* Send welcome emails, forgot password emails, etc.

* An admin interface t be able to delete, block, search and manage your users, permissions, etc.

And this is not just for mobile apps. It's for every web, or mobile, app that has users to manage.

Thank you for your feedback!
