Appreciated. If you run into any issues, please don't hesitate to file a quick report. Strong wording welcome :)

The Supabase comparison is pretty poor and needs improvement. In many ways TrailBase and PocketBase are architecturally a lot similar. The key-difference of both compared to Supabase is that they're a single executable, easy to self-host, less resource hungry and in many cases faster (for better or worse due to their simpler architecture). In case you're interested: https://trailbase.io/reference/benchmarks/

Privacy, data ownership and reduced reliance on public clouds were definitely motivations.

A Java/Kotlin client is certainly on the short-list. We recently added one for Swift. There are also clients for Dart, TypeScript, and C# in case you're more into cross-platform app development (Flutter, React Native, and Maui/Avalonia respectively)

Sorry to hear. The beauty of giving folks admin access and that's why we can't have nice things :). Excuses aside, in case you're still interested maybe try a bit later. The demo resets regularly. If you still run into issue, please don't hesitate to send a quick, low-key bug report: https://github.com/trailbaseio/trailbase/issues . Strong wording welcome

Absolutely, PocketBase and Supabase. They're both awesome: https://trailbase.io/comparison/pocketbase/

I think it's fair criticism and certainly an area where TrailBase can improve (it's still young). FWIW, I used to avoid the "Firebase" comparison and be more descriptive with a long list of features. That confused a lot of folks. Firebase-like seemed to get the rough product-ballpark across more effectively. If I had to guess, I'd say Supabase probably arrived at a similar conclusion.

Either way, they are all rather broad products and many users only use subsets. Thanks for speaking up, appreciated.

Sorry, this is folks logging in and changing the password. Should have seen this coming :hide:. Instance gets reset every 60min. Not great but something to improve

:hide: thanks for pointing out this embarrassing plunder. No excuse, just feeling silly especially after being so careful throughout the rust base. It's fixed now. Please keep yelling if you find more issues
