Generally firebase / supabase do a very good job of providing client sdks to access database directly without the need of a server.
That way your data is still in cloud and you don't actually need a server.
- graemep 2y agoReally? They do not run on servers? Where us the data stored then?
- satvikpendem 2y agoThis is unrelated to local first, just because you don't need to set up your own backend (not a server, because they are all servers) does not mean that the app works purely on the client.
- ants_everywhere 2y agoSupabase and firebase are servers. In fact if something is "in the cloud", it's by definition being made available by a remote machine, AKA a server serving the data. The alternative is not to have a server and instead have clients share data if data needs to be shared.
- ashu1461 2y agoTrue, one of the pointers in the comments was that people don't want to host their own servers so was suggesting an alternative to that.
- globular-toast 2y agoThat's even worse. The whole point of things like this are you do all your computing with your own computer(s). People in this thread are just saying that it would be even better if you could only use your phone/laptop etc and didn't have to also set up your own server.
