Welcome to Create Supabase App 👁⚡️👁

Supabase is an open-source Firebase alternative.

This terminal application aims to help new developers quickly create ready-to-play applications, powered by Supabase.

It doesn't replace Supabase CLI

Pick a starter project & start playing with Supabase!

🚨 This is still an alpha and could be unstable

Future

Known issues:

• UI glitches on macOS & Linux (solved by changing title font and removing gradients 🥲)
• Fix color theme (solarized dark doesn't work well)
• Windows with WSL 2, glitches with some Terminal, glitches when screen rerender (Ink know issue)
• Not responsive 😂 (and probably never)

I plan to add more features and improve the experience (order is subjective) :

• Add Next.js templates
• Add more examples with Supabase (edge functions, realtime, ...)
• Add a no UI mode and support args
• Add an option to create a local project with Supabase CLI (a more advanced use case)
• Add tooling to generate base templates (like replicating Auth module without copy/paste)
• Add support to run an init script located in supabase.init
• Add a way to test a template locally (to help people create new templates)
• Add documentation on how to create a template
• Why not Expo examples?

Make your own CLI app!

To make what I wanted to do, I created a naive implementation of React Router / React Navigation. You can reuse it and improve it to quickly create your own CLI app.

Credits

The workflow comes from retro engineering of Supabase CLI

The template system/idea comes from Remix create-remix (credits in the source code)

The whole project relies on Ink and :

• ink-big-text
• ink-gradient
• ink-select-input
• ink-spinner
• ink-text-input

Thanks to @vadimdemedes and @sindresorhus for the great work!

React Router for the routing system that inspired me.

React Navigation for the navigation system that I try to mimic.
