Sharetribe VS supabase

you can build your marketplace quite easy with https://www.sharetribe.com

For marketplaces I’ve used Sharetribe https://www.sharetribe.com, and Arcadier https://www.arcadier.com/express/. Both quite good and with easy to use templates.

Sharetribe: https://www.sharetribe.com does seem more like a C2C marketplace than something that would allow a merchant to have a store with multiple products

Just because nobody else has mentioned it: https://www.sharetribe.com/

> For an MVP, I'd choose what I'm most familiar with and can be fastest with.

That is absolutely the takeaway here. Use the technology you are familiar with and/or can be fastest with. MVPs are risky enough, don't add in "oh, gosh, I have to learn the tech (libraries, deployments, monitoring, database access, etc)" as well.

The only case where I'd pick a new tech for an MVP is when there is an existing open source or free project that I could use that would obviously get the project shipped faster by providing extensive pre-built functionality.

For example, I once used Sharetribe https://github.com/sharetribe/sharetribe even though I was only an intermediate ruby programmer because, after time spent evaluating it and other solutions, it had functionality that could get us shipped faster.

From "git init" to our first beta customer was 1 month of time. Then to our first paying customer was 1 more month. One developer (me). To be fair, my co-founder had done a ton of market development before I started coding, so the initial market/feature discovery was done; that's a huge part of any MVP.

This is such a valuable question for other languages too. I wonder if there's a repo/resource listing such projects..

I asked a similar question about ruby some time ago, and came across one good recommendation (https://github.com/sharetribe/sharetribe), but would love to have many more. I'm also self-taught and feel I haven't read enough great ruby code!

Use https://www.sharetribe.com/ . Your best bet

2. Tools to build a marketplace. Which, besides being open source, how is this idea different than https://www.sharetribe.com/?

One "competitor" that comes to mind is https://www.sharetribe.com/. Originally, Sharetribe was just a public github repo anyone could clone, and you had to pay if you wanted any support setting it up. Now it seems like they have a more standard SaaS model.

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.
