Supabase SDK for Elixir

[zoedsoupe]

hey folks! sorry for opening yet another one discussion thread for this topic, but i think it would make sense to centralize everything related to this topic on this thread/discussion.

for whom don't know, a bit of background context here in a "timeline" like structure: since set 2023 i started to make a rewrite of the libraries offering integration with Supabase APIs for the elixir language called supabase-potion¹. in set 2023 i also opened the first github discussion² referencing this project.

before i started to develop them i searched for already existing ones and found some as i presented into the supa-squad³ meeting on nov 2023. these existing libraries was maintained mostly by @treebee.

so the supabase-potion development continued and i presented updated and progress into the supa-squad meeting⁴ again in may 2024! i also presented into the Elixir Days⁵ event⁶ here in brazil, may yet.

then my last presentation and progress update of supabase-potion was into the supa-squad⁷ meeting of set 2024.

on august 2024 @bymayanksingh opened the second github discussion⁸ showing interest on contribute to the ecosystem.

since i started to develop supabase-potion i was in touch with @filipecabaco, specially with ideas to implement a direct way to expose the realtime library to other elixir via probably via phoenix pub sub and i also invited him to the elixiremfoco⁹ podcast which i'm also co-host in march 2024 to talk about open source and Supabase in general.

finally, some weeks ago i asked for filipe about open source sponsorship, since i would like to focus entirely on the supabase-potion development, bug fixes, new features implementations and also extensive documentation.

so the idea of opening this new discussion, besides centralizing the discussion and next steps of the supabase-potion project is also to understand the criterias to move the supabase-potion libraries under the supabase-community org and what are the possibilities to handle the already existing gotrue-ex and postgrest-ex libraries that doesn't have active development since 2021.
