We don't plan to replace any specific framework. We simply want to make Postgres easier to use. You can use Django (or any other framework) and Supabase together. We provide some additional tooling on top, but we aim to make this tooling 100% compatible with other tools. As an example, here[1] is a change we made recently so that our Storage service works better with Clerk (a popular Auth service, which is a good alternative to our own Auth service). We plan to document this better - it was one of the promises I made in the OP.
> Are there plans to expand self-hosting support?
we made a few updates[0] this week to improve self-hosting based on the common feedback. if there is anything missing just let me know and i will do another round of improvements.

nothing is feature-gated so everything works on self-hosted. That said, I agree that we can be better at explaining the self-hosting. We are putting a lot more effort into improving our docs in general. For self-hosting we can certainly be clearer about the boundaries where you are responsible (eg, you need to take care of your own backups, the AI features will require external acconts). we're working on this, but feel free to open issues where it's unclear we can address anything specific
