		monstermachine on May 10, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Supabase (YC S20) raises $80M Series B Supabase real time is open source while firebase is not. You cannot provide firebase as part of your services because you cannot self host it. I asked why to understand the reason for another open source implementation.
