100,000 GitHub Stars
Supabase just hit 100,000 GitHub Stars. They also announced 8,000,000 developers building with Supabase.
S/O to @copple @antwilson and the @Supabase team 👏👏
Supabase isn't just among the most-starred repositories on @GitHub, [1] it's also among the most-loved products on @Product Hunt. [2]
Here's a brief recap of their history here.
A brief history of Supabase on Product Hunt
Fun facts?
They've launched on Product Hunt 16 times
They first launched in 2020 as an alpha version
They ranked #1 Product of the Day on their fourth launch
My key takeaways: Product Hunt definitely is a great place for developer tools. First launched in 2020 as an alpha version, Supabase has kept launching since then, and it paid off. Four years later, they went GA, ranked #1 Product of the Day / Week / Month / Year (runner-up).
Just launch.

What do you think drove the consistency in their launches

great question - they have this key principle: Fixed timeline, flexible scope. Every 3-4 months, they launch something new.
@antwilson wrote an insightful post about it here: How we launch at Supabase
@gabriel_flores3 Maybe having a clear process behind the scenes?

definitely - icymi @Supabase co-founder and cto @antwilson wrote about it here: How we launch at Supabase
@gabriel_flores3 Was consistency easier because they stayed focused on one niche?
@gabriel_flores3 I wonder if they planned everything in advance or just shipped as they went.
What role did feedback loops play here?

@fmerian Supabase is incredible, and not just because of the product's utility and features. What sets it apart is how accessible the entire experience is. The UI, the configuration, the documentation. Everything is designed so that even non-technical teams can navigate it without needing an engineer on call. We use Supabase as our database layer at ClawSecure and it's been one of the most reliable pieces of our stack. Being able to jump into the dashboard, inspect data, manage tables, and configure settings without writing raw SQL every time is a genuine productivity unlock. Supabase removes a barrier that most database tools don't even acknowledge exists.

Love seeing this.
We’ve been using Supabase at Attrove for a few years now and it’s easily one of the best developer products we use. Powerful, fast to build with, and it just keeps getting better.
100k stars is well earned. Huge congrats to the Supabase team!

Well deserved.
Hitting 100k stars is impressive, but what stands out is how fast tools like Supabase are becoming the default stack for builders.
Feels like the gap between idea and production is shrinking faster than ever.
