Does WeWeb support ability to embed private message/group chat function within web app?

As the title says, I’m wondering if WeWeb allows builders to easily include some sort of in-app DMing feature or group chat feature. If helpful, I am currently using a Supabase backend. Thank you!

Might very soon pop will pop in a template on a particular weweb marketplace like that…soon at least :eyes:

More seriously , yeah it’s possible, checkout realtime on the supabase side, and use the ChatGpt clone to relate to a structure

DM between users woud need some specific RLS on Supabase side too
Also depending if your website is fully managed and stored into your supabase , or if there is a third provider, which would need routing

Correct me if i’m wrong guys !

Nice one @Zacharyb! Yeah, I think you’ve given @marketplacebuilder a good plan to get started there :ok_hand:

The caveat would be on the “easily” in your question @marketplacebuilder. There will be some complexity, but it should be doable :slight_smile:

Supabase is currently on the realtime side if i were to guess based on my bayesian intuition
but yeah, you have


They provide in the SQL editor a pre built template on the back-end side seems to me that it can be done in pretty no/low code

Where i would think the pain point is in the delay between supabase<->weweb server i guess ? (correct me if i’m wrong Joyce)

Where i would start is there Realtime | Sync your data in real time


and have a bit of fun Realtime | Supabase here

In weweb, have to admit that i does not have the 100% suggestion to make, but seem. most likely duable,

I have done a realtime chat functionality for a real estate app with Supabase. It’s not plug and play, but it’s all WeWeb and Supabase tho :slight_smile:

You gotta code a little with the current state of Supabase in WeWeb. But I did it, so it is doable.

There is no WeWeb server, WeWeb is mostly making calls client side (web sockets). So the only latency is the one of your network connection) You’re hitting Supabase “client-side”, so no server is involved (most of the cases)

What about with Xano? This would be greattt

I heard Xano is doing something similar soon, but so far I don’t think that’s a thing on Xano.
Another point for Supabase :sunglasses:
