Hi everyone!
I’ve been making good progress on Defied lately. Here’s an update on what I’ve been working on:

Backend

• Magic-link auth is working, and I’ve added Zitadel as auth provider for a more ecosystem-like architecture. The auth handler now supports both email magic-links and Zitadel OIDC.
• Health endpoints: /health, /health/db, /health/auth, and /health/mail endpoints for monitoring
• Email verification: SMTP integration with verifyEmailConnection() for magic-link email verification

Frontend

• Blog management: Integrated BlockNote and Nextra to build a fully-functional blog
• Landing page: Designed and built, showcasing Defied’s services and values
• Login page: Updated with modern design and auth flow

I will soon implement syntax highlighting and LaTeX in the blog editor. Stay tuned
