@JessetheSibley

"DB/Backend: @supabase_io Reason: Takes care of Auth, DB hosting, API. Open source, easy to eject into something else. I love SQL. Cloud IDE is incredible for productivity."

@VaibhavAcharya_

"Been trying out this new stack. Loving it so far. Next.js (Frontend) + Stitches.js (Styling) + Radix (Primitives & Icons) + Supabase (Backend) + Vercel (Deployment) 😍 Thank you @vercel @Modulz @supabase_io for this amazing DX."

@benbarbersmith

"OKAY OKAY FINE I'LL LOOK AT SUPABASE PROPERLY"

@ssw1ss

"@supabase_io is amazing, super easy to get up and running quickly + they have multiple examples with various frameworks (chat app, auth, etc)"

@mattegreer

"Been playing with @supabase_io and so far I'm liking it. I ❤️ you get full access to the database. It's very quick to get up and running, seems a nice fit for prototypes or smaller apps"

@eunjae_lee

"Using @supabase_io with SWR by @vercel is something else 🔥"

@_mateomorris

"big props to the @supabase_io team - open source is a two way street and they’re super responsive & community oriented"

@geordidearns

@quill_web

"Been actively working on Quill. It's been rapid, thanks to @supabase_io and @tailwindui"

@MartinOrszulik

"@supabase_io not only is it Firebase alternative, but it has SQL and it uses #elixirlang for handling realtime 😍😍😍 @josevalim did you know that? That's power of your creation 😎"

@yuris

"Another month, another impressive @supabase_io release. It’s rare to see a startup ship in public so consistently."

@swyx

"There are a lot of indie hackers building in public, but it’s rare to see a startup shipping as consistently and transparently as Supabase. Their upcoming March releases look to be 🔥 Def worth a follow! also opened my eyes as to how to value add in open source."

@jperelli

"This weekend I made a personal record 🥇 on the less time spent creating an application with social login / permissions, database, cdn, infinite scaling, git push to deploy and for free. Thanks to @supabase_io and @vercel"

@kouariga

"I'm excited to know that there's a Firebase alternative OSS project, @supabase_io. It's not a mere copy, you can use Postgre. I like Firebase but always miss the power of SQL."

@jim_bisenius

"That’s the best part of @supabase_io! No vendor lock 😎"

@JessetheSibley

"Just span up a @supabase_io app for my new side project. Honestly thinking the tagline "Firebase Alternative" should really be "A Far Superior Firebase Alternative". Love writing SQL in the cloud! Big love ❤️"

@prakis

"Lack of count in firebase/firestore is such a nightmare and workaround solutions are crappy. I experienced it while implementing http://HelloEle.com good job Supabase 👍"

@mneelansh15

"Looking for a Firebase alternative? Consider using the open-source @supabase_io. It's as simple as Firebase but I found the dashboard UX more intuitive and hey it's OSS! It's in beta so you can use it for free rn."

@nasiscoe

"Me using @supabase_io for the first time right now 🤯"

@JP__Gallegos

"I'm trying @supabase_io, Firebase alternative that uses PostgreSQL (and you can use GraphQL too) in the cloud. It's incredible 😍"

@digitaldaswani

"Check out this amazing product @supabase_io. A must give try #newidea #opportunity"

@razvanilin

"I gave @supabase_io a try this weekend and I was able to create a quick dashboard to visualize the data from the PostgreSQL instance. It's super easy to use Supabase's API or the direct DB connection. Check out the tutorial 📖"

@chinchang457

"Tried @supabase_io for the first time yesterday. Amazing tool! I was able to get my Posgres DB up in no time and their documentation on operating on the DB is super easy! 👏 Can't wait for Cloud functions to arrive! It's gonna be a great Firebase alternative!"

@roomahhka

"10/100 All day i was migrating my project from firebase to @supabase_io Because it is perfect and simple!!! I like design and API for understandable. There are in BETA now. Just try!🧪"

@jim_bisenius

"@MongoDB or @MySQL?!?! Please, let me introduce you to @supabase_io and the wonderful world of @PostgreSQL before it's too late!!"

@Elsolo244

"Where has @supabase_io been all my life? 😍"

@XPCheese

@jim_bisenius

"@supabase_io is the answer to all of firebase’s problems imo"

@codewithbhargav

"@supabase_io is insane."

@nerdburn

"It’s fun, feels lightweight, and really quick to spin up user auth and a few tables. Almost too easy! Highly recommend."

@jasonbarone

"I’m probably the wrong person to ask because I pick tools based on UX. Supabase was immediately approachable: instant setup, fast web app, auth, and easy APIs. Same reason I liked Firebase when I first discovered."

@RobertBrunhage

"Now things are starting to get interesting! Firebase has long been the obvious choice for many #flutter devs for the ease of use. But their databases are NoSQL, which has its downsides... Seems like @supabase_io is working on something interesting here!"

@NavicsteinR

"Honestly, I really love what @supabase_io is doing, you don't need to own a complete backend, just write your logic within your app and you'll get a powerful Postgresql at your disposal."

@jasonbarone

"Next.js, @supabase_io, @stripe, and @vercel. Supastack™"

@Soham_Asmi

"I've really enjoyed the DX! Extremely fun to use, which is odd to say about a database at least for me."

@_strawbird

"Supabase team is doing some awesome stuff #supabase #facts @supabase_io"

@michael_webdev

"Did a website with @supabase_io last week with no prior experience with it. Up and running in 20 minutes. It's awesome to use. Thumbs up"

@jasonbarone

"Next.js, @supabase_io, @stripe, and @vercel. Supastack™"

@0xBanana

"I just learned about @supabase_io and im in love 😍 Supabase is an open source Firebase alternative! EarListen (& react) to database changes 💁 Manage users & permissions 🔧 Simple UI for database interaction"
