Are there any plans to support hosting for web app...

Wondering whether there are any plans to support similar functionality to https://firebase.google.com/docs/hosting I know there are plenty of other great solutions out there for this purpose (firebase, vercel, netlify, cloudflare, etc.) but that means having to use multiple providers. Again, not that big of a deal, but it would be great to be able to use Supabase as a web dev teaching tool where people learning would only have to use one provider, and the only real missing piece with Supabase is being able to host the app itself.

Users here can't answer that, Supabase rarely comments on plans. Like you said though, this is their comment from awhile back in the blog...

Offering secure and fast web hosting with a good developer experience is a hard problem to solve and there are other fantastic providers which do exactly that.

From our experience launching Supabase Storage last year, becoming a hosting provider is not something you want to take lightly. Malicious folks will upload their phishing sites whenever they get a chance and this can quickly spiral out of control, causing you to land on the denylist in the Safe Browsing dataset. Even though we removed the project within minutes after being notified, various ISPs had already cached the information from the Safe browsing dataset and were “helping” their users by restricting access to the Supabase domain. This isn't something we're planning to repeat. But as always, we'd love to hear your use cases and feature requests, we're just one GitHub discussion away!

Awesome, thanks for the info. Had missed that in the edge functions launch post. Makes total sense from the safety perspective. I wonder how much insulation not being fully turnkey gives them against the companies they suggest for hosting. Cloudflare, Vercel, Netlfiy, etc. all seem to have increasingly similar feature sets. I guess hosted / realtime postgres is still the main differentiator?
