Ehsan's Insight
Developer community is not optional for devtools — it is the product. A devtool without community support (Stack Overflow answers, GitHub discussions, Discord help) is a devtool that developers abandon when they hit their first bug. The investment in community: dedicated developer advocates (not marketers who code), active Discord/Slack moderation, comprehensive documentation, and fast response to GitHub issues. Supabase maintains a Discord with 200K+ members where questions are answered within minutes by both staff and community members. That response speed is worth more than any documentation improvement. Developer community investment has the highest long-term ROI and the lowest short-term ROI of any growth channel. Start early. Be patient.
