Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/issues/1700

I have a project that does not use user images. I want to try your library, but I don't want to clutter my schema with an unnecessary field that is not and will not be used. Do you plan this kind of customization?

Yes. We're working towards making the user schema more modular and fully user definable.
