• SupaBase is worth 1 billion dollars (apparently).
• Magic is worth 100 EUROs (apparently, it's what I paid for the IP to get out of my VC deal).
• SupaBase has 500,000 downloads.
• Magic has 10,500,000 downloads.
• SupaBase has 63,000 likes on their GitHub profile. Notice, .Net Core has 14,000. .Net Core is Microsoft's flagship product, and 27% of all software developers in the world are using .Net in one way or another. Somehow SupaBase managed to get a "community" that's 4.5 larger than 27% of all the software developers in the world ...
• Magic has 950 stars on its GitHub profile.

My only theory is that it's an elaborate investment scam, somehow artificially inflating their "community". However, I wish I knew "the secret" here. What is their "value proposition"? I mean, they built a thin React GUI app, on top of PostgREST and PostgreSQL, added a JWT authentication endpoint on top of it, and that's it - And somehow they're worth a billion dollars? It's the type of stuff even a mediumly skilled senior software developer could replace in "a weekend" ...

Even DigitalOcean have "wizards" accomplishing the same starting out at $6 per month ...
