Hey, I think you could add a link for supabase-dart and postgres-dart as they are related and anyone falling into this page might not know they exist.

Also, I just want to do a Firestore.stream. Is that possible? It could mention how to achieve this (or if it is not possible) for users coming from it to have the right expectations.

Hi @bernaferrari !

Thank you so much for your feedback over here as well!

How does adding a link to the documentation of realtime to README.md sound? That way, developers who arrive to that page can easily jump to Supabase documentation where they can learn more about other services like auth or storage.

Also, I just want to do a Firestore.stream. Is that possible? It could mention how to achieve this (or if it is not possible) for users coming from it to have the right expectations.

If you are asking if realtime-dart emits data as streams, it does not at the moment.

What you need in supabase ASAP is 'circular link'. Can I go from realtime to postgres-dart and back? Can I go from realtime to the website and then back? I can only find postgres-dart by googling, I have no idea where it is.

Hey @bernaferrari!

Supabase works differently from Firebase as in with Firebase, you need to install firebase_auth package to log users in, cloud_firestore to use the database, firebase_storage to use storage. With supabase, all you need to install is supabase-dart package, and you can use all the features, so you shouldn't have to go to different places.

The documentation is where you can find out all about Supabase. It also has list of client libraries that are available on this page.

Oh, I understand that. I mean, it is hard to find what I want. The about link has no mention about any implementation.
Actually, there is no mention about implementations anywhere. Where would you click?

I don't think it is obvious. Database has no mention of dart, only in client libraries.

@bernaferrari
Now I see where you are struggling. I think the team is aware that the doc has some room for improvements, and greatly appreciate your input.

Would you like to also open an issue on the main supabase repo so that they can hear your feedback about the doc?

[dshukertjr]

I will close this issue as it sounds more about the docs than realtime-dart!
