Typebase - Single-folder TypeScript backend
Show HN: Typebase – A single-folder back end you write in TypeScript
Typebase is a developer tool that turns your backend into a single folder of TypeScript files. Define your database schema, server actions, and auth in a `typebase/` folder inside your app. One command deploys a fully typed server that your frontend calls like local functions. It offers end-to-end type safety, explicit authorization, and supports deployment to Vercel, Cloudflare Workers, or Deno Deploy with Postgres on Neon. With no vendor lock-in and idiomatic clients for Next.js, SvelteKit, Nuxt, and Expo, Typebase combines the DX of Convex with the openness of Supabase.
The same code your agent writes is the code your compiler checks.

To be honest, the use of AI in your marketing doesn't bother me. But paired with the fact that you have a newish HN account with no comments ever, and no comments on your own "Show HN" in response to others, doesn't put off strong trust signals.

The pronunciation of "Vercel" near the end of the "Typebase in 100s" video was VER-cel, with the emphasis on the first syllable, instead of ver-CEL with the emphasis on the second syllable.
Was the video generated by AI?

It’s like next.js but for backend.
Personally not for me. These are very productive once you learn the shape they expect.
But the wheel needs to be reinvented on how to do everything.
I ran have straight forward verbose code with no hidden control flow

I love the (well-disclosed) fake testimonials. Hilarious!

Sounds very interesting. I have to agree I didn't like RLS as well. I mean, it's useful but it seems too many knobs to turn...
