Honestly they spent more time comparing supabase to pocketbase
The Supabase comparison is pretty poor and needs improvement. In many ways TrailBase and PocketBase are architecturally a lot similar. The key-difference of both compared to Supabase is that they're a single executable, easy to self-host, less resource hungry and in many cases faster (for better or worse due to their simpler architecture). In case you're interested: https://trailbase.io/reference/benchmarks/

This is pretty cool. Just needs clients for iOS and Android and it would be a rock solid replacement for a lot of large enterprises, or privacy minded companies.
Privacy, data ownership and reduced reliance on public clouds were definitely motivations.
A Java/Kotlin client is certainly on the short-list. We recently added one for Swift. There are also clients for Dart, TypeScript, and C# in case you're more into cross-platform app development (Flutter, React Native, and Maui/Avalonia respectively)

Trying the online demo but it seems that it doesn't work properly, getting a lot of errors
Sorry to hear. The beauty of giving folks admin access and that's why we can't have nice things :). Excuses aside, in case you're still interested maybe try a bit later. The demo resets regularly. If you still run into issue, please don't hesitate to send a quick, low-key bug report: https://github.com/trailbaseio/trailbase/issues . Strong wording welcome

Nice. I assume this was inspired by Pocketbase (Golang): https://pocketbase.io/
Absolutely, PocketBase and Supabase. They're both awesome: https://trailbase.io/comparison/pocketbase/

There is little mention of realtime on the Firebase landing page https://firebase.google.com
We likely agree that firebase is superb. But your criticism of using ‘alternative’ is unjust both in terms of the breadth of firebase, and why a competitor might target someone about to choose Firebase.
I think it's fair criticism and certainly an area where TrailBase can improve (it's still young). FWIW, I used to avoid the "Firebase" comparison and be more descriptive with a long list of features. That confused a lot of folks. Firebase-like seemed to get the rough product-ballpark across more effectively. If I had to guess, I'd say Supabase probably arrived at a similar conclusion.
Either way, they are all rather broad products and many users only use subsets. Thanks for speaking up, appreciated.
Demo site crashes with "uncaught error 401"
Sorry, this is folks logging in and changing the password. Should have seen this coming :hide:. Instance gets reset every 60min. Not great but something to improve
