🗄️ Set Up Supabase
Super easy step-by-step. No coding. ~5 minutes.
🎯 What is Supabase?
In plain English: Supabase is where your app's data lives. Think of it like Google Drive for your app.
- 👤 When someone signs up → their account is stored here
- 📁 When someone creates a project → it's saved here
- 🔄 When they sign in from another device → their projects are still there
✨ You only need to do this ONCE. After that, it works automatically forever.
