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.

Why do you think dev tools perform so well here

good question - my $.02: @Product Hunt is an awesome place for founders and, according to @Supabase's State of Startups 2025, [1] they're mostly technical. they might hang out here to discover new (dev-first) products to get to where they want faster.

@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.
