Today Foqos hit a new milestone: 10,000 reviews! Feels crazy to even write that. It's a huge achievement for any app let alone an open source one, and I can't help but reminiscence about the journey so far 🧵

We will open new positions soon for the Turso team. If you have experience writing databases and want to help us shape the future of a world with billions of databases - let me know!!!!!

Okay you gotta try the new CLI. GAME CHANGER
People have been asking to run Supabase locally without Docker for a while. You can do that now. 🐳 Plus, every coding agent gets its own local project, so one can reset its database while another is mid test run. supabase.com/blog/local-supa…

Then came the flurry of hits! CNET, Wired, Lifehacker, New York Magazine all mentioned by app to help people live more analog lives. TikTokers, both small and massive accounts, made videos highlighting Foqos and showing how they use. Some had the coolest ideas for NFC tags. I even got a mention from @mrwhosetheboss, a YouTuber I've followed and watched for a long, long time. It was so incredibly surreal, I couldn't believe something I built was getting global recognition

I'm so happy and grateful for all the love Foqos has gotten, it's even bigger than myself. I'm extremely proud that its been open source from day one, never had any pay walls or in-app purchases, and has actually helped over 100,000+ people around the world ❤️

Regarding the recent Deno acquisition: Edge Functions are built on the Deno runtime today, but importantly, we operate our own infrastructure and don't depend on Deno's hosted services. While Deno is winding down active development over the next year, the Deno team has committed to contributing bug and security fixes until then. And we'll continue our work with the Deno team to incorporate critical improvements to the Edge Function runtime during this transition. Our next-generation offering, Compute, is already in an advanced stage of development and will support Deno as well as other runtimes like Node.js and Bun. We'll provide a seamless migration path from Edge Functions to Compute. Our goal is to make Compute available for new workloads and existing Edge Functions well before Deno's support window closes. Existing Edge Functions will continue to be supported, and there's no need to migrate today, and no need to stop writing them. Longer term, Compute will give you more flexibility in choosing your runtime, and we expect it to become the recommended path for new workloads. We don't have a public timeline to share yet, but we'll provide updates as soon as we do. supabase.com/compute

You have no idea how hard the team is working on this. This is gonna crush 💪
Holy sh*t, the new Supabase Compute is fast 💨 and you're gonna love it. We ran some quick evals with early access (thanks @mattjohnstondev & @laktek) and the results are really promising. 💰 6.7x cheaper to run at ~$.05 per question (Woz's favorite) instead of our current $.36. That's roughly $500 for 10,000 questions vs the current $3,600. With Compute, we're seeing 2.3x faster answers before we've started to optimize. And a bonus of 17x fewer tokens used. We like that. @dreambase_jc is putting together a deeper dive early next week, and we'll be rolling it into @dreambaseAI right away. Anyone else tried it out yet?

I am delighted to announce that we have signed a deal with the nicest person I have met in my life, @kiwicopple , to join one of the fastest growing rocket ships I have seen in my infra career, @supabase. Turso and Supabase fit perfectly together. Our cultures are similar, our obsession for developers is similar, and we're both committed to building the future of agentic databases together. It is a happy day!
Replying to @supabase
