Replace Google's Firebase with Supabase

[davidculley]

Google is an evil company with nefarious purposes. People would be wise to block traffic to Google.

I am blocking network traffic to Google and in particular to Google's Firebase because I don't want to be surveilled and tracked by Google. Unfortunately—since Monkeytype builds heavily on top of Firebase—Monkeytype doesn't work as intended with network traffic to Firebase blocked.

I propose to replace Google's Firebase with Supabase or any other appropriate solution that isn't Google, that is more privacy-respecting.
