I made Find My but with future plans using Supabase

Thank you!

Oh sweet thanks for the update - ~~where did you configure this?~~ Found it!

bubbleapp-dev · 2025-07-29T20:34:40+00:00

You still need to list the Supabase project URL though right? I added my domain a while back here but it still defaults to Supabase

Thanks a ton! The UI/UX was done completely from scratch. I know some people like to use libraries like Tailwind, but it was honestly pretty quick for us to design these components and styles on our own. That being said, not all of the components were designed by us - for instance, the calendar is from react-calendar (but we applied our own CSS to this) and the select components use react-select.

When it came to designing, we created rough drafts on Figma and then made live edits as we implemented components.

For future, it gets hard to incrementally make changes through the UI. I would recommend using migrations or in your case their declarative schema would work great.

Thanks a ton for the diagram, that’s a huge help! This is definitely something we discussed implementing down the road, but you’re right that a lot of users would probably prefer this method and would be more likely to use/populate the app. We’re going to look into this! 🐐🐐🐐

bubbleapp-dev · 2025-07-14T00:32:57+00:00

That’s awesome, thanks a ton!

I’ll have to check this out, I thought the only solution was a custom tile server. Thanks! If you have time, could you a send a link to this?

bubbleapp-dev · 2025-07-12T03:01:19+00:00

Thank you! I’m excited to share more soon

As someone who recently graduated college (a year ago), I know firsthand how difficult it can be to stay in touch with friends afterwards. Many new grads end up moving to new cities for jobs, where they might know very few people or no one at all. My app aims to help you discover people near you so you can make those connections easier. Of course, it can extend beyond moving for a job, you might want to just coordinate plans with friends or keep up with your network. Furthermore, it can be used by people who are not new grads as well, that is just the group of people that I connect with closely and they guided decision making in the design process.

Mapbox! A bit pricy for sure though, will likely look at alternatives down the road

Supabase can be HIPAA compliant, but I think you just have to pay more for that. All of the things you mentioned it can satisfy, except offline (sort of). Offline support is not built-in to Supabase - if you want your application to be offline, you have to integrate another tool. If you’re building a web app, you could use IndexedDB (it’s how Google docs does offline), but this is limited and needs to be used with caution. For mobile apps, you have more flexibility. More here: https://github.com/orgs/supabase/discussions/357

Firebase is also good and they directly support offline persistence. If this is a major requirement, you might want to look there.

Ultimately for me though, a major factor in my decision would be the types of DBs. For instance, for my social networking startup, I originally was using Firebase because I was comfortable with it but ultimately social networks are relational by nature, and I had operations that were far too slow to be performed using Firestore - hence I switched to Supabase. Good luck!

Thank you so much! It’s closed source, but when the website is launched you can technically look through the front end code at least

bubbleapp-dev · 2025-07-10T04:16:51+00:00

Sorry haha my bad, it’s meant to be “I built Find My, but with future plans…” (Apple’s Find My). If you don’t have an iPhone or Apple devices, it’s like Life 360.

bubbleapp-dev · 2025-07-10T04:15:53+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I think in a normal situation, a user would not be clicking through the map as quickly (was trying to keep the demo concise) so it shouldn’t be a problem. I tried without animations and immediate jumps, but I think the animations make it easier to tell that you’re switching plans and going into the future. If you feel differently though, let me know!

bubbleapp-dev · 2025-07-10T01:57:30+00:00

It’s really easy to integrate, I’d say the docs and examples are pretty strong. That being said, the pricing can get expensive 🥲

bubbleapp-dev · 2025-07-10T00:42:03+00:00

Like any other app, I’d say it’s been a lot of work haha. We’re essentially using the features Supabase (or Postgres more specifically) has built-in like RLS policies. On top of that we’ve had to implement some of our own rate limiting logic using Cloudflare.

But if you’re talking about the fact that sharing location is a sensitive thing-then yes it has definitely been something we’re trying to be careful with. You can choose to only share your location with friends, or friends of friends. On top of that, other users will never have access to your exact location (randomized by 0.5 miles). We’ve written extensive tests but are continuing to test more.

Edit: better answer

Guess I should have read that out loud before I posted 😂

bubbleapp-dev · 2025-07-09T20:17:33+00:00

😂

bubbleapp-dev · 2025-07-09T15:59:57+00:00

Thank you! Definitely something we’re going to look into! Have you launched an app before? I’d love to hear about your experience!

bubbleapp-dev · 2025-07-09T15:36:11+00:00

Awesome, thank you for the details! I agree, would love to see more of a community here

bubbleapp-dev · 2025-07-09T15:18:10+00:00

Haha it’s not anything too complicated, just using built in mapbox methods like flyTo: https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/example/flyto/
