Hi @rutzuu! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the better-auth team.

The StackBlitz Live Examples for Better Auth aren't working because the Next.js demo requires sensitive environment variables, backend services, and real integrations (like databases, OAuth, Stripe, and email providers) that can't be securely or reliably provided in a public StackBlitz environment. The demo is designed for local development, where you can set up the required secrets and services yourself. That's why you see the "Unable to access workspace" error—StackBlitz can't support the backend and secret management this demo needs to run properly. For now, the best way to try the examples is to clone the repo and run them locally as described in the demo's README here.

To reply, just mention @dosu.
