🥁
The User Banning Extension is a simple one - it does exactly what it says on the package - endpoints and UI to ban/unban users and automatically revoke sessions of banned users.

The results speak for themselves:
• Users complete quickstart guides faster
• Less page-hopping during sessions
• Better user feedback
• Developers can actually find what they need
Sometimes good docs is just removing the friction.
Full story here: supertokens.com/blog/rethink...
But structure wasn't enough.
We standardized everything: same writing style, same page templates, same organization. We even use Vale (a linting tool) in CI to enforce consistency.
No more "every page written by a different person" chaos.
👇
The winning approach: follow how auth actually works.
• Quickstart (get running fast)
• Authentication (methods and setup)
• Additional Verification (MFA, email verification)
• Post Authentication (sessions, user management)
• Migration, Platform Config, Deployment
Logic beats personalization.
👇
So we did something crazy: we built two entirely different documentation architectures.
Spent months on each. Tested both with real users. Compared how people actually navigated vs. how we thought they would.
Only then did we pick one.
👇
The breaking point:
Users reported spending more time hunting through docs than actually implementing auth. Our "personalized" approach created 15 different ways to navigate the same information.
We optimized for the wrong thing.
👇
We tried to personalize everything. Different auth methods got different navigation. Recipes for different use cases. Seemed smart.
Result? Navigation chaos. Users couldn't find anything.
Good intentions, terrible execution.
