So I was just in the process of handling the aftermath of the theft of one of my relative's phone. Not a tech-savvy person, I'd say they're more or less as knowledgeable as the average Google user.

When checking what could be blocked from their google account, I realized that 60 of their saved passwords/mails were available in plain text when connecting to their google account from a new laptop(with no other input than mail and password), it's even exportable to a nice csv. This apparently seems to be default behavior.

Isn't that insane?

Am I naive to just realize that this is apparently normal to have this kind of stupid design from a trillion dollar tech company?

Is there any sane way of explaining why anyone could have thought that this was an acceptable idea?

I often want to try out some products ideas, and setting up a whole project is always a real PITA: auth, payments, db, hosting, analytics, support etc...

I'm wondering if there is any good software (whether it's open source or on a freemium/per usage pricing), that allows you to just work on your features and nothing else, basically copy/paste a few API keys, write an API route, a react form and a view, and you have a working product.

I tried some open source boilerplates on github, but they weren't up to the task, either outdated and bugged or way too complex and badly written and it was a pain to add anything.

I'm mostly looking for something made with typescript/node or that is language agnostic
