This post picks up on an article I wrote earlier this year titled The good parts of Supabase. Wherein I reflected on my experience building Railtrack with Next.js and Supabase. If you're curious, you can read the whole post.

If you want to see a real-world example of what I described, check out my repository for Railtrack here: https://github.com/noahflk/railtrack.

In this article, I'll write about the experiences I had when using Supabase to build Railtrack. That’s why I’ll only talk about using Supabase for web development with Next.js with TypeScript that’s hosted on Vercel.

I didn't really give much thought as to which backend I would use. I already had 2 projects in Supabase (BOXCUT & MineWork), but also a few projects in Firebase too. I was more concerned at the time at actually building the product.

Supabase will be used for storing article data in the database and the cover image of the article in storage. Chakra UI will be used to provide style to the elements. By using both, we can build the blog with ease.

For AutoRepurpose, I opted for Supabase as the backbone of the backend. It has reliably supported Penelope AI, which garnered over 15k users in 2022 without any issues.
