I’m building a second, completely unrelated app and want to keep its database, auth, storage, billing, etc.
completely separate from my existing app.
Can I create a separate Supabase account for it and use the Free plan there?
I’m not trying to bypass limits. These are genuinely separate products with separate users.
Would this be allowed, and is there any downside to doing it this way?
The Shiprocket IPO is probably the best example of how Indian IPO works.
Read an article about the company: ₹2,024 Cr revenue, still loss-making, investors exiting through OFS, etc.
Read another article: 99x subscribed, GMP is ₹97, listing around ₹390.
Open Twitter/X:
“bhai listing pe kitna profit hoga?”
“gmp 35% hai 🔥🔥🔥”
“allotment mila toh sell on listing”
Nobody knows what Shiprocket is worth.
But apparently everyone knows exactly what it’ll list at.
Indian IPO investing has basically become Dream11 with demat accounts.
Okay, someone explain Shiprocket to me.
It’s going public at a valuation lower than its last private round, yet the IPO got 99x subscribed.
Retail was ~46x and QIBs somehow went 122x.
But the company still lost ₹79 Cr last year.
Valuation is around ₹7,000 Cr vs ~₹10,000 Cr when it was privately valued in 2024.
I get the growth story, but 99x is insane.
What am I missing here? Why are people so bullish on Shiprocket?
Are people subscribing because they actually like Shiprocket as a long-term business, or is everyone just betting on the GMP/listing pop?
Yesterday, I was travelling with a friend who had come to Bihar from Delhi for the first time. We were returning after I had given a Startup Bihar test. (The stupid Bihar government makes founders take written tests to apply for its startup programme, but that’s another story for another day.)
My SpiceJet flight SG2478 was scheduled to leave Patna for Delhi at 9:30 PM, so I reached the airport around 8 PM. Then the fun began.
First, I got an SMS saying the flight was delayed to 10:40 PM.
Then another message: 1:00 AM.
Then another: 2:15 AM.
My blood was boiling. I had to attend office on the 13th, which was exactly why I had booked a flight in the first place. I wanted to reach home at night, get some rest and be at work the next day. Otherwise, I could have taken a much cheaper train and reached Delhi early in the morning.
But the real surprise came at around 2:30 AM when boarding finally started.
We realised we were boarding a small turboprop aircraft with completely exposed propellers. I’d never flown on one before, and the entire aircraft seemed to vibrate like hell from the moment we took off.
At that point, after waiting nearly five hours at the airport, I just wanted the flight to end.
We finally reached Delhi at around 5 AM.
I booked a flight specifically so I could get home at night and rest before work.
Instead, I spent the entire night at the airport, boarded a plane at 2:30 AM and reached Delhi at 5 AM completely exhausted.
Never again, SpiceJet.
Hey everyone, looking for some advice from fellow founders and marketers on how to handle a PR dilemma.
Recently, a business magazine reached out to me on LinkedIn. They’re publishing a list of the "Most Promising AI Startups of 2026" and offered to feature my company for a small fee.
My first instinct was to ignore it because these kinds of emails usually scream “pay-to-play.” But I did some digging before making up my mind.
I checked their LinkedIn page, Google reviews, social media presence, and readership. Everything looked surprisingly legitimate. They have a decent following and seem to be focused on business and startup content rather than generic awards.
I even reached out to a few founders I found on LinkedIn who had been featured in previous editions. Almost all of them had positive things to say about the process, so I decided to continue the conversation.
Then came the catch.
They don’t just want me to fill out a questionnaire or send written answers. They’re insisting on a recorded, on-camera interview, almost like a podcast. I’m pretty camera shy, so this has become a complete dealbreaker for me.
I asked if we could do it over an audio call instead, but they’re not willing to make an exception.
While researching this, I also came across dozens of other magazines offering “Top AI Startup,” “40 Under 40,” “Founders to Watch,” and similar features.
From what I’ve seen, they roughly fall into three categories:
Tier 1 (The Giants – Forbes, Time, etc.): Exorbitant charges, strict requirements/vetting, but huge readership and top-tier prestige.
Tier 2 (Mid-Tier – My current option): Much lower charges than Tier 1, good social media reach, solid niche readership, but higher effort/demands (like non-negotiable video interviews).
Everyone else:
There are tons of these. Almost no requirements, very little readership, barely any social presence, and very low prices. You’ll get a magazine cover with your face on it that looks nice on LinkedIn or Instagram, but I’m not convinced it carries much value beyond that.
Now I’m wondering what the right move is.
Part of me thinks a video interview actually adds credibility because at least they’re putting effort into creating real content instead of just taking payment and emailing a PDF.
The other part of me just doesn’t want to be on camera.
If you were in my position, would you:
Push yourself and do the interview?
Walk away entirely?
Or just skip all paid magazine features unless they’re from top-tier publications?
Curious to hear from founders who have actually gone through this.

Over the last 10 years, I’ve switched 12 companies, and one thing has always bothered me about job hunting.
Finding a job and researching a company happen on completely different platforms.
You apply on LinkedIn, Naukri or Indeed. If you get shortlisted, you suddenly have to open Glassdoor, search Reddit, check AmbitionBox, and maybe even message random employees on LinkedIn just to answer a simple question:
“Should I actually join this company?”
It always felt like a broken experience to me.
So I started building a platform where the discussion happens alongside the job itself.
Instead of static listings, every job has its own discussion thread where people can share interview experiences, ask questions, discuss work culture, salaries, managers, or even warn others if a company has serious issues.
The next problem was incentives.
Most people never leave reviews because there’s nothing in it for them.
So I borrowed Reddit’s community model. Users earn reputation by contributing useful information, there are communities around different technologies and careers, achievements, leaderboards, badges, and discussions that aren’t tied to just one company.
While building it, I realised it could help recruiters as well.
Instead of relying only on ATS scores and AI-generated resumes, recruiters could discover active contributors inside communities related to the skills they’re hiring for and reach out directly to people who’ve consistently demonstrated knowledge.
The product is live, but I’m not posting this to acquire users.
I’m posting because I want founders to poke holes in the idea.
What’s the biggest flaw in this model?
What would stop it from reaching critical mass?
Would you trust community reputation as an additional hiring signal?
If you were building this, what would you do differently?
Be brutally honest. I’d rather discover the weaknesses now than after spending another year building it.
Over the last few months, I’ve been building a job platform that takes a very different approach from LinkedIn or traditional job boards.
The idea came from my own experience after switching 12 companies over the last 10 years. Every time I interviewed somewhere, I ended up bouncing between LinkedIn, Glassdoor and Reddit just to figure out whether the company was actually worth joining.
So I thought, why not make the discussion part of the job listing itself?
Instead of static listings, every job has its own discussion where people can comment, ask questions, share interview experiences and talk about the company. There are also Reddit-style communities, a reputation system, achievements, leaderboards and private messaging.
From a technical perspective, the biggest challenge wasn’t authentication or CRUD operations. It was trying to make a fairly interactive app still feel responsive while dealing with things like real-time messaging, comments, notifications, infinite scrolling and reputation updates.
The stack is:
Next.js
React
TypeScript
Tailwind CSS
Supabase (Auth, PostgreSQL and Realtime)
Vercel
I’m not really looking for users here. I’m more interested in feedback from other developers.
Does the UI feel coherent or like too many ideas mixed together?
Is there anything in the UX that immediately feels confusing?
If you were building something like this, what would you have done differently?
Are there any obvious performance or architectural mistakes you notice?
If anyone wants to take a look, I’ll put the link in the comments rather than in the post.
I’m happy to answer any technical questions about the implementation as well.
SIPs made equity investing pretty much hands-off. Money goes in automatically and compounding takes care of the rest.
With corporate bonds, I’m not seeing the same thing.
If you have around ₹10–15 lakh invested at 9–10%, you’re getting roughly ₹7,500–12,500 every month. Unless you actively move that money somewhere, it just sits in your bank account earning next to nothing.
I’ve been manually reinvesting whenever I remember, but it feels like fixed income is still designed around payouts instead of automatic compounding.
Risk Appetite: Moderate
Goal: Long-term wealth creation
Horizon: 15+ years
Current Allocation: 100% equity SIPs
App Used: Groww
My goal isn’t monthly income. I’m more interested in keeping idle cash compounding instead of letting it sit in a savings account.
Maybe I’m just unlucky, but I’m genuinely frustrated.
I spent around $45 on Emergent over the last couple of days, and I honestly regret it.
The pattern was almost always the same. I’d ask it to implement something, it’d sit there thinking for 10-20 minutes, then come back saying it had modified 20 or 30 files.
I’d open the app…
Nothing.
Or maybe 10% of what I asked for was there.
Or it’d break something that was working perfectly before.
So I’d write another prompt to fix that.
Then another.
Then another.
By that point I’d already burned through a huge chunk of my credits.
The thing that drove me crazy wasn’t even the bugs. Bugs happen. It was the constant “Done”, “Implemented”, “Updated successfully” messages when the requested feature either wasn’t there or only partially existed.
After a while I honestly started wondering if the whole thing was designed to keep you chasing fixes until you ran out of credits. I’m **not saying that’s what they’re doing**, but that’s genuinely how it started to feel after spending that much money.
I finally gave up and bought Cursor Pro yesterday.
I’m still figuring Cursor out because the setup was honestly confusing for someone who’s never used an IDE before.
It took me a while to understand branches, terminals, commits and all that. But once I got past that, it’s been a completely different experience.
One question for people who’ve been using Cursor for a while…
How far does the $20/month Pro plan actually go?
Can you comfortably build a decent-sized project on the included usage, or do most people end up buying additional credits every month?
