We're implementing the features of FIrebase, but we're not creating a 1:1 mapping.

Fair enough. I guess the point I was trying to make is that, for me (a Firebase user for about 2 years who is aware of, but has never used, Hasura), I don't find the current Supabase marketing materials that compelling. But it's important for me to acknowledge that, in general, I'd rather use a GraphQL API than another proprietary javascript one. While I like the Firestore API, it's definitely a negative that it's proprietary.

Ultimately we're both open source and contributing to other open source tools like Postgres, so it's great for you and the community :)

You are correct! Best of luck.

Yeah it’s a bit “YCombinator” the a,b,c for x,y,z. I’ve used all three and while there are similarities, what makes Supabase stand out for me is the authentication, Postgres and that it’s open source. I do wish it had some of the “functions” of firebase and the GraphQL capabilities of Hasura—I’m really liking the security features as well as how easy it is to manage, query, and edit the database. It’s hella fast too.

You might really like Nhost. We do Postgres, Hasura, Auth, Storage and Serverless functions :)
