whats your affiliation w supabase? arguably this name is close enough that people can reasonably confuse you as a supabase product. careful! but otherwise... good initiative that supa should probably offer first party

There are tons of projects with "supa" as the prefix, both related and unrelated. If Supabase were going to take legal action on this, they would have already.

its jut not a good starting point for any yc company so might as well rename now while its cheap

i dont speak for them but 100% this is close enough to home tjat they should be concerned

Fwiw we wouldn’t take legal action but sometimes we politely reach out if the name could cause confusion for customers - everyone has been very amicable and usually it’s a win/win to rename anyhow

we're not affiliated with supabase and this is a good point. wanted to be specific with the name like paloaltofooddelivery, but we'll likely rename as we add more different databases/services to support like clickhouse, stripe. curious if you have any that you want us to do

stripe is v good. clickhouse would be less exciting only bc its yet another db
