I follow Supabase on Twitter. It's fine. It doesn't bother me. They also do this in their blog posts which makes it less boring to read through. I'm sure they'll get more serious once they are able to target bigger businesses.

What is stopping them from targeting bigger businesses now? They seem to list many big companies already: https://supabase.com/company https://supabase.com/company

  Wow, that's news to me. Impressive. They're still technically in beta. I guess there's a huge demand for Firebase on a relational db.

    I think it's more about demand for a cheaper firebase, they also benefit that you can self host / open source

      I really don't think price would be a factor for these companies.

        Have you used firebase enough to see how quickly the costs scale?

  Uhh wow... what they say is "With developer signups from the world's leading brands." Then list a bunch of big logos. Reminds me of planetscale.com which has a bunch of logos on their home page, but really those logos are using vitess, not actually using planetscale. Purposely misleading on both fronts imo. Rubs me the wrong way

    That's not actually true. You are completely wrong. Every customer in our trusted by section is a customer of our cloud product.

      I'm not talking about the "trusted by" section, but now that I'm visiting your site again, I see you've added that. When i looked a year back you only had the second section. "The power of open source" which then shows a ton of logos, including: affirm, box, axon, youtube, github, square, shopify, new relic, yelp, weave... If these are all your customers, that really wasn't clear to me! And that's awesome! You should be more explicit that they're all your customers. I thought it was just saying, "hey, all these folks are using this open source thing that we're also using/selling".
