You state open-source, building in the open, then charge 15 dollars for a lot of confusion and sus currently.

On the homepage I see for 15 dollars one time fee.

"Full access to source code"

is it not open source?

"Receive free lifetime updates"

again is it not open source?

"Deploy unlimited projects anywhere"

it cost money to run a database? how does 15 dollars one time payment cover that?

Really confusing.

Nothing is really is really free in this world it takes time and effort to develop such a tool. for the price of 15 you get lifetime updates to the service and full source code. i think it a good offer but fair point to you.

Love hearing Open Source and SelfHosted but I do not clearly see link to the Github or other place where source code is. There is no link to the code in the launch message either.

You need to pay a one time fee to get access to the source code. and lifetime updates .

Pretty sure packaging Minio into your product is a license violation. Also repo is empty aside from a README.

We replaced it with our custom storage service. which is not only faster and more reliable. because the api documentation for minio were shit. and its not open source anymore so can't use it anyways

But I thought you could self-host Supabase?

Have you tried setting up storage and auth on a large scale on the selfhosted version. good luck .
