I’ve just started dabbling so take this with a grain of salt.

Overall, it’s great. I recommend it to people. The high signal part is what I would work on:

- deeper integrations with common OpenID Connect providers, with a pretty foolproof “bail to browser view that looks like Kinde or Clerk”. there’s only so much you can do, but it’s not trivial to get wired up to a bunch of pick-and choose SSOs.

- prisma should be front and center, the auth/public schema split is not a breeze, Prisma slays at being an ORM, Supabase slays at other things. It’s not obvious whether or not to use realtime or Pulse.

- force the env footprint on e.g. next or expo or whatever, it’s a little glue, it’s a lot of people who don’t pop out of the funnel.

- chat / dm is a common enough use case to be in the wizard (like avatars), Postgres handles it fine for small to medium apps, and arguably for big ones

- have a pass through mode for the local deploy that’s easy to toggle, you guys are fast AF, it’s often sane to dev directly against the instance.

- I’m sure you’re already building the kind of anonymized training sets that let you spot bad configs a mile away.

Again, nitpicks on a great product. I love Supabase.



this is all great, actionable feedback. Thanks for this - really nice list
