Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built BaseBuddy because I kept seeing the same problem: people already have good Supabase/Postgres databases, but when they need a CMS, they usually have to reshape their schema, build a custom admin panel, or move content into another system.
BaseBuddy is a self-hosted Supabase CMS that works with your existing database directly. You connect your project, map your tables, and get a clean WordPress-like editor for posts, media, files, SEO fields, publishing, authors, and permissions.
The part I care most about: BaseBuddy does not rename or reshape your tables. Normal saves only write changed fields, and publish/unpublish/archive are explicit actions.
It is open source and early, so I’d love feedback from Supabase/Postgres builders:
- Is the mapping flow clear?
- What content workflows should we support next?
- Would this fit your current Supabase project?

Happy to answer anything.
Any plans for plugins like media management and rich text fields, or is it staying as a clean database editor?
Congratulations! By ensuring your existing schema remains untouched, developers will feel more confident and trust in this approach
Congrats on launch day! Tools that extend what developers already have rather than replacing it are always appreciated. Good instincts on the positioning.
Very cool project. Curious how you handle schema changes after non-technical users start editing data directly, since that's usually where these tools break down. Does BaseBuddy lock column editing or surface migrations somehow?
Turning a Supabase database into a WordPress-style editor is smart for non-technical stakeholders. Content teams in most dev-tool companies are blocked on engineers for the simplest data edits. We've been building in the customer success for developer tool companies space, and BaseBuddy touches on something we think about a lot. How does it handle row-level security rules that already exist in Supabase?
