I needed a database to store user information. 
The problem? I’m a database newbie.

~a short story

I looked around and chose Postgres (because it’s free and open source). Now I needed a server. Again I saw what’s out there and wanted to try supabase.  I read the supabase docs and they told me to use supabase-js.

But my goal is to make this as modular as possible since I don’t want to depend on any servers (ew), or because any day I might want to switch. 

So it turns out I could just use a generic js library to interact with any postgres database (called “pg”).  Now I can write beautiful queries and not worried about becoming another sheep from the supabase flock.
