I think you guys should show more attention towards native SDKs instead of just focusing on web and js.

The JS library gets more update because it is more widely used and is also used by the Supabase Team itself.
If you would like to contribute to the Kotlin library please go ahead and contribute where you can. All contributions are appreciated.

Okay, but 7 months is a long period and I don't understand why no one brings this up
s
This would be due to no one using it
To put things in perspective, the Supabase team is a small team, they have a lot to manage and maintaining all the libraries would be a pain for them to do. They maintain the core ones that are more widely used, they rely on the community to help out with the others.

It's definitely a community-enhanced project. The team have put the infrastructure in place as well as libs that are most likely to be used. Releasing a library under the Supabase repo, and having people maintain and update it are 2 different things. If no one has brought it up, chances are that there's either a very small group of users, or the users of it aren't aware of the Discord (or simply don't comment), or both.

Hmm but what if there are little users because there aren't strong official libraries
SDK support is really important especially because u are targeting Firebase users
Maybe once the features under development are out of beta and production ready u can focus on creating strong sdks
You can just support the main languages that supabase might be used in first like java / kotlin, python, swift
But I understand that it is a small team and creating and maintaining sdks are a pain
Just a suggestion for more adoption

this project is still super early as well. I've used the kotlin library in one of our project & it was working well - i just believe it was being maintained by a community member with low bandwidth
but I believe once they get the js/core framework to a great state it'll be easier to support native packages
h
Yes that's what i mean

founder here - we'd love to have more capacity for the libraries but at the moment the platform is growing very fast. In terms of priorities, database security and stability needs to come first. We'll start hiring for the client libraries soon! We also are planning out some changes to the auth server for better mobile flows
h
Sounds great
👍
Loving supabase till now hit just a couple of hiccups tho. Sadly have to wait a while for that to get fixed but once that's done i am gonna be extensively using it! 😁
c
im definitely waiting for android/ios support to port my apps. unfurtunately, im not experienced enough to try help in the libraries.
l
@copple there’s putting together another swift package and the way they’re planning to approach the package seems promising. Thoughts on real-time mobile support as well?
m
I’m dropping a usable swift SDK in a week or two
c
I believe @User is working on a new swift SDK too - you might want to collaborate with him?
g
Hey, I’m actually just working on improving the current sdk and making it production ready
l
@grsouza plans for websocket support as well?
g
@User there is already a realtime sdk that uses websocket https://github.com/supabase/realtime-swift
I didn't used it yet, so I don't know if it needs any improvement
l
ill give it a check.
thanks @User
