03/10/2022, 5:14 PMIt's a matter of odds, some things give you +, some things give you -, but if you are aware that it's a luck game, then you can play it. Minmax your chances, like any video game - d

03/10/2022, 6:55 PMHey supabase people, I am starting a new project in react native and I wanted to know how’s yours experience with supabase inside react native? Did you had any issues connecting etc.? - x
xananax
03/10/2022, 7:11 PMAs long as you can do http calls, the experience is the same - x
xananax
03/10/2022, 7:12 PMIt doesn't really matter what you use on the front-end. the supabase client and other helpers are a thin layer for convenience; it's fairly easy to do without - r
rishav
03/10/2022, 7:15 PMCan Supabase do routing and html templates as well? What I am trying to see if Supabase is great only for api/spas or can I also use Supabse for more traditional server driven web sites as well? - x
xananax
03/10/2022, 7:30 PMSupabase is a database, with user authentication, real time updates, and file storage. HTML templates, or any kind of user interaction, is entirely not related to what it does - x
xananax
03/10/2022, 7:31 PMSupabase can be compared to Firebase, or a beefed up Postgres with a neat interface and a ton of little practical things. It is not a front-end framework or a server - x

03/10/2022, 7:32 PMThere's superbase/ui, which are some read-to-use React helpers for authorization and logging in, but that's it - e
