Have you had a chance to explore `Better Auth`
How would I build a mutation to patch changes directly to the better-auth component table? Or is the better method to add a name and image field to the users table created for our actual app's database and read from those instead of the table from better-auth?

Have you had a chance to explore `Better Auth`
My next follow-up question is, social logins easily pull name and profile image data from the provider during sign-in, but what's the best approach for this w/ email OTP sign-in?

Got it working finally! I've been trying to rebuild your example repo line by line to teach myself what's going on each step of the way (since I've built apps with convex and better-auth separately and really wanted to understand how they were being stitched together), and there was a weird function that Cursor threw into my app at some point that was messing things up.

You're right, it's not in there anywhere, just the
const { isAuthenticated, isLoading} = useConvexAuth(); that is straight from your example repo166 replies

Have you had a chance to explore `Better Auth`
I've been trying to get this up and running in Next.js, but am getting stuck with email OTP. The isAuthenticated state isn't getting saved to local storage (or to Convex?), so when I succesfully receive an email OTP code and enter it to verify, I'm not being redirected to the dashboard page because it still thinks isAuthenticated is "false". Any idea where I might be going wrong here?
