Offline-first Supabase vs Firebase/Firestore

General Conversations

We built a FlutterFlow library that keeps in-app SQLite in sync with Supabase, making FlutterFlow apps offline-first ⚡

Offline-first apps use a local DB and sync to

  • make the UI instantly responsive,

  • stream updates in real-time and

  • make apps available offline. 

What do you think of this approach vs using Firebase/Firestore? 🤔

There’s probably a place for both architectures — our approach has been focused on enabling an end-to-end stack of open-source technologies (i.e. Postgres (on Supabase), PowerSync and SQLite).
