       | I have been using motor admin with a postgresql database for a
       | few months now, and the team is really enjoying its lightning-
       | fast features.
       | 
       | Also, the maintainers take the reported issues seriously, and
       | have been at task with fixing them.

       | Looks interesting ! I'm currently building a webapp on Supabase
       | and have been considering Retool for admin purposes. What would
       | this offer over something like Retool ? Do you offer specific
       | features tailored to Supabase in order to make the integration
       | easier or do you simply treat it as an ordinary PostgreSQL DB ?

         | Motor Admin uses PG instead of Supabase API for better
         | performance, ease of use and enhanced features.
         | 
         | It has several advantages comparing to Retool like simple self-
         | hosting option, CRUD UI out of the box, periodical data reports
         | (aka alerts), unified UI optimized on mobile (instead of
         | retool's more complex UI builder).

       | Shame, but looks like SSO is hidden behind an "enterprise" tax.

       | My first reaction to this is that some of the features (directly
       | editing data, viewing data) won't work for our deployment of
       | supabase, as our data is within a schema not exposed by PostgREST
       | (all interaction with supabase is done via db functions on the
       | public schema).
       | 
       | Unless this admin panel directly connects to the postgres
       | instance?

       | It is not clear within the documentation, is the Heroku
       | Deployment going to run on a an Heroku Free Tier Plan?
        
         | petems wrote:
         | Yeah, Heroku free tier would be enough to deploy and run the
         | app.

         | You can run it on AWS EC2 or on any other Ubuntu server - the
         | app is distributed as a single executable binary - so you
         | basically need to connect to your AWS EC2 via SSH, download the
         | binary and run it: https://docs.getmotoradmin.com/guide/#ubuntu

       | I find Directus better because it is 100% even with Role Support.
       | Not related to directus just enjoing it so much AFTER i have used
       | strapi and supabase for quite some time. Don't get me wrong
       | supabase is great and i know this tool is a generic admin
       | interface, but the same is true for directus. you can put
       | directus on top of any DB (sqlite, postgresql, mysl, oracle) and
       | get a fancy admin ui for free. https://directus.io/

       | Based on the use cases section, it doesn't seem like this is
       | Supabase specific, but rather postgres specific. Do I have that
       | right? Leveraging Supabase for marketing is a good idea.

         | You're right - Motor Admin is Postgres specific (or DB specific
         | since it works with Mysql and SQLserver as well).

       | Wow, this looks really cool. And if it can be used for Supabase I
       | guess it can be used for https://nhost.io too because both are
       | using Postgres?

         | As you are the creator of nhost maybe you could check that out

       | The latest release of Motor Admin includes automatic DB schema
       | reload feature. So now all change in Supabase schema are
       | automatically applied to the Motor Admin panel. It means that
       | Motor Admin now works perfectly with Supabase and can be used to
       | build complex admin UIs for internal users.
