Storage is now available in Supabase (YC S20)
Supabase is NOT open source and it's Founders are highly unethical. Here’s why.We heavily rely both on postgres and Firebase. And when Supabase came as an “open source” Firebase alternative (also a YC company), naturally we were excited. However ever since the launch, time and again the community has kept asking for a self-hostable version to no avail. And community is requesting that since not all of Supabase is open source. If it were, community themselves would have built it. But Founders have been “milking” the words “Open Source” and ignoring the community altogether.Here is the full story :
Few weeks ago, I checked supabase self hosting documentation again ==> they were callous enough to even mention how to move away from Supabase and had no instructions to self host! Completely put off by this unethical means of taking community and words open source for granted, I prompted them about it. And their response has been to remove “How to Self host” section altogether from the website, documentation and Github. And then provided a fully watered down version of docker-compose which  “is barely functional or useful” to community as it has no dashboard within it.Whenever self hostable questions comes up, Supabase Founders cover up by providing vague answers like ==> “We are building with existing & proven OSS tools. We stitch them all together seamlessly”. When decrypted, that translates to ==> “We use open source to build our software (hey nothing special here :  bazillion companies do that). There will never be a usable self-hostable solution in near future”. F** you Supabase.Every single open source company that I can think of can be self-hosted. World class open source companies go to great lengths to ensure its always self hostable even by compiling source.Supabase founders : You should be so ashamed of yourself for setting such low standards on what could be termed as open source.
