Altien turns a login stub into real account management
What was a one-line bookkeeping endpoint is now a full surface for reading profiles, tracking usage, and deleting accounts cleanly.
Upstream Mike barely had an account layer: logging in quietly recorded that you existed, and that was it. Altien rebuilds it into four distinct operations - read your profile and a rolling 30-day usage allowance, update a tightly controlled set of fields, tick up a per-message usage counter, and fully delete your account.
Two details stand out. The usage allowance resets on your next visit after the 30 days lapse, not on a fixed billing date - fine for gentle rate-limiting, but not a hard billing cycle. And account deletion actually tears things down: where the fork runs on Supabase (a hosted database-and-login service), it also removes the underlying login identity, not just the data rows. The app can also signal which AI models are available to a user without ever exposing the keys behind them.
