introducing baas.abhivarde.in pick two backends. see the same task, side by side. → supabase vs appwrite vs convex → auth, database, realtime, storage, rls → verified snippets, not docs summaries → ships as an agent skill open source. contributions are welcome.

thanks, safe travels! ✈️ just a heads-up that i've already migrated the database examples to the new tablesdb standard (createrow, listrows) and updated the realtime channels. all @appwrite snippets are now fully aligned with the 2026 syntax! 🚀 baas.abhivarde.in

Awesome work, Abhi! For Appwrite, let's update the database examples to use TablesDB?

@supabase @appwrite @convex snippets are open to verify and fix still shipping. still looking. open to frontend / product engineer roles. if your team is building and needs someone who moves fast, reach out 🙌

I hope I understood you correctly. Let's assume I send a PDF or proposal saying, "With the current architecture,(btw i did the sent appwrite founder few things they ignored ) we need this much refactoring to achieve the plan." What happens to the people already using it? They can't just migrate overnight. People starting new projects could adopt a different architecture from day one. I'm not saying it's better than the original SDK. In fact, I assume you're using the original one in one of your apps and it's working well. Now there are simply two options. Teams can choose whichever fits their architecture and requirements best. You can't really go to an open-source project and say, "We need a massive refactor and a completely different API surface." That's a huge ask for maintainers and existing users. This project is just another option for people who prefer a different approach.

SOMEONE INDEXED A FREE OPEN-SOURCE CLONE FOR EVERY SUBSCRIPTION YOU PAY. The repo is called Clone-Wars. 100 entries. One developer named Gourav Goyal maintains it. Here's what's in there: - 1Password Families ($59.88/yr) → Bitwarden ($0) - Calendly Standard ($120/yr) → Cal.com ($0) - Notion Plus ($96/yr) → AppFlowy ($0) - Firebase production ($300/yr ) → Supabase, Appwrite ($0) - Google Analytics → Plausible, Matomo ($0) - Algolia ($600/yr ) → MeiliSearch ($0) - Dropbox Plus ($119.88/yr) → Nextcloud ($0) - Evernote Personal ($129.99/yr) → Joplin ($0) - Intercom ($888/yr ) → Chatwoot ($0) - Airtable Team ($240/yr) → Rowy, Baserow ($0) - LaunchDarkly ($1,000/yr ) → Unleash, Flagsmith ($0) - Auth0 → Ory ($0) Add it up and the average software stack costs more than most rent payments. Every line item on that bill has a free clone with a real demo and a working repo. Here's the wildest part: This is a public list. It has been on GitHub since 2020. 34.2K stars. Thousands of developers have starred it. Almost none of them have switched. The lock-in isn't technical. It's habit. 34.2K stars. 3.1K forks. AGPL-3.0 license. Still being updated. One honest note: a chunk of the entries are learning clones, not production-ready alternatives. Star count is the fastest signal: 10K usually means real, sub-1K usually means tutorial. The SaaS industry's most threatening competitor is a markdown file maintained by one guy. Repo in the first comment.

that is lowkey genius 🤣

Just hit a massive milestone on my full-stack React chat app! 🚀 My frontend is officially talking to the backend using @appwrite as my BaaS. ✅ Secure Auth & Auto-login ✅ Image uploads to Cloud Storage ✅ Database profile creation ✅ Zustand global state Let's go!🔥 #ReactJS

you can choose whichever you prefer!

Is appwrite not MySQL?

postgres is better than postgres? lol

Postgres is better my friend

the “joke” here is that appwrite does literally everything lol

solid 6. mine is: @appwrite for databases @appwrite for cache etc @appwrite for everything else @coolifyio for deployment

What you building?
