In simple English
This tool adds a referral system to your web app. Users get unique codes to share with friends. When new people sign up using those codes, the system tracks them. You can also set extra goals like a first purchase before a referral counts. It saves you from writing this tracking code yourself.
What it is
A TypeScript plugin for Better Auth (an open-source authentication library for web applications). It creates unique codes, tracks signups, and provides ready-made endpoints for referral dashboards.
