whats your affiliation w supabase? arguably this name is close enough that people can reasonably confuse you as a supabase product. careful! but otherwise... good initiative that supa should probably offer first party
- kevo1ution 3mo agowe're not affiliated with supabase and this is a good point. wanted to be specific with the name like paloaltofooddelivery, but we'll likely rename as we add more different databases/services to support like clickhouse, stripe. curious if you have any that you want us to do
- swyx 3mo agostripe is v good. clickhouse would be less exciting only bc its yet another db
- popalchemist 3mo agoThere are tons of projects with "supa" as the prefix, both related and unrelated. If Supabase were going to take legal action on this, they would have already.
- swyx 3mo agoits jut not a good starting point for any yc company so might as well rename now while its cheap i dont speak for them but 100% this is close enough to home tjat they should be concerned
- kiwicopple 2mo agoFwiw we wouldn’t take legal action but sometimes we politely reach out if the name could cause confusion for customers - everyone has been very amicable and usually it’s a win/win to rename anyhow
