  There's also a Nicki Minaj song called Super Bass, although i admit that is less likely to get confused with either of them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JipHEz53sU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JipHEz53sU

    I posted this below, but since you mention Nikki - Funny story, Supabase was originally a placeholder name - it was a joke so that Ant (co-founder) and I could entertain each other with Nikki Minaj "Super Bass" memes while we were brainstorming. But the name grew on us once we made the initial design. Thankfully Nikki Minaj isn't well-known amongst techies. I hope I haven't just ruined our credibility

  Superbase IIRC was a GEM based database system that was the era of windows 1.0 comming to birth. Was nice, I mostly did work in Dataease then, and talking late 80's era. Dig into the history shows more in depth from my GEM flavour experience. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superbase_(database) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superbase_(database)

      Yes, still going and interestingly enough, so is dataease. Though the old secret dos debug system in dataease is probably long gone (hold down ctrl and type debug and you'd get hidden developer options). Software today tends not to have as many hidden gems like that as yesteryear, bugs perhaps but hidden features, less so.
