We Forked Supabase Because Self-Hosted Postgres Is Broken.… Why we forked Supabase to build Vela, a self-hostable Postgres platform with storage-level branching, pragmatic infrastructure choices, and a focus on running…

The best birthday present possible 🔥

Last year in August, my team at @simplyblock.io and I decided not to add more duct tape to Supabase but to fork it.

The idea, a fully self-hostable, production-grade, serverless Postgres platform. Today we're happy to open-sourcing #Vela!

We had an ICE scare yesterday and even though we’re afraid of the repercussions of being vocal, we feel that it’s also important to inform people that this is right at our front door. ICE is not some far away boogeyman. They are here right now, spreading fear in our community. 

We’re so grateful to our entire staff and their bravery. They did the right things and couldn’t have dealt with this situation in a better way. We are grateful to our community activists that came to support us from @miracmn @litosonlake and Monarcha. We hope that if you find yourself in the same situation, that you find these resources helpful. Peace and take care of each other ❤️

WE ARE HEARTBROKEN THAT OUR IMMIGRANT
COMMUNITIES IN THE TWIN CITIES ARE BEING
TARGETED AND TERRORIZED BY THE CURRENT
ADMINISTRATION. THESE ARE REAL PEOPLE THAT
ARE BEING USED AS POLITICAL PAWNS AND IT'S
APPALLING.

REGARDLESS OF THEIR LEGAL STATUS, THERE ARE
SO MANY LATINOS & SOMALIANS WHO ARE AFRAID
OF BEING DETAINED DUE TO MISTAKEN IDENTITY
BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY MIGHT NOT GET DUE
PROCESS & A FAIR TRIAL. THEY WILL JUST END UP IN
DETENTION CENTERS & A LEGAL PROCESS THAT
HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS A BLACK HOLE.

WE STAND IN SUPPORT OF OUR IMMIGRANT
COMMUNITY, WHO ARE THE BACKBONE OF THIS
COUNTRY. WITHOUT IMMIGRANTS, AMERICA IS NOT
THE SAME PLACE. STAY SAFE OUT THERE & TAKE
CARE OF YOUR NEIGHBORS.

LOVE,
HOLA AREPA & HAI HAI

I see quite a few issues still and they won't be solved anytime soon. Currently "vibe-coding" a dashboard Ui. And while it looks and works great, I also see very little modularization, code reuse and a lot of inconsistencies from screen to screen. It works, but junior level. Still much help.

I know what you mean. For me it typically starts about an hour after posting to recommend and then 6-7h later, it's all over and it's mostly search.

Yeah, youu can find those in Germany too. And it's also a good use. Inject a bit of energy while programming, then leave them alone.

And the roof's finished. All building-integrated photovoltaic panels, instead of a regular roof.

I love it. Such a beauty.
