Self-host your community platform

Supa Social is a production-ready, self-hosted social platform built with Once UI and Supabase. It’s a fully functional application you can deploy in minutes — complete with authentication, profiles, followers, roles, moderation, notifications, and a flexible feed supporting multiple post formats. What you can build with it: • A decentralized micro-community • A customer space around your product • An internal hub for your company • A monetized niche network • A builder ecosystem
Once UI
As someone who's building a social app myself (Spark — a conversation-first matching app), I know how painful it is to build auth, profiles, roles, and moderation from scratch. Having all of that ready out of the box with Supabase is a huge time saver. The self-hosted approach is smart too — data ownership is becoming a real concern for community builders. Quick question: how does it handle real-time messaging/notifications at scale? That's always the trickiest part of social platforms in my experience.
Once UI
@sparkuu Yes, real-time interactions are the essence of modern social platforms. We implemented it via Supabase's realtime listeners, which makes operations cheap, since we don't poll by interval, but when new data is available :) Feel free to connect with me, happy to learn more about you platform and approach, I think both of us can learn from it!
@lorant_one Thanks for the reply! Using Supabase's realtime listeners is a smart choice — much more efficient than polling. For Spark, I built a custom TCP-based messaging layer since we needed very low latency for our 10-minute timed chat feature. Would love to exchange notes sometime. Following you guys — excited to see where Supa Social goes!
Nice one! Will check it out...does it also support APIs from other platforms like X?
Once UI
@abhinavramesh Thank you! No, it's completely standalone :) You own / store data in Supabase.

Very cool! Curious how customizable the feed logic is?
Once UI
@athanzhang It's centralized in a single file, so it's easy to edit, but needs a bit of technical understanding. Currently it weights publish date, comment count and reaction count, and we're looking forward to expose the weights and introduce more nuance, without turning it into a clickbait-algorithm :)
This looks great! The design is impeccable and the ability to go from an idea to launching a full-fledged community in a matter of minutes is pretty incredible. Good luck with the launch!

@jasonrdunn Thank you, we invest heavily in design for all of our projects, so it's a pleasure to hear it clicks!
