Nice project! I was a bit disappointed that you need a supabase account for "self hosting it".. And this is supposed to work only on some hosting service that can connect to Supa base, and also it encourages to fetch your pages content from github.. So it's more a CMS to run with specific service providers rather than something you can actually self host.

Thanks! And yeah I agree it's a bit mislabeled; the goal was to enable people to put up their own server as easily as possible, which meant plugging into those services. We are working on decoupling the backend so you could self-self-host it though.
sqlite or flat html files would enable the ease of self hosting without any third party external service dependencies
Possibly for the database but authentication and file storage would still need to be taken care of
True but still, you can self host supabase as well. The only service really required is GitHub but I guess other providers (e.g. gitlab) can be added down the line.
Gotta agree, i'd prefer to use planetscale or turso, i mean supabase is cool too, but i'd rather have the option, or even just loading stuff to a local db on a webhost of my own.
