How can we apply for funding? Or pitch ideas? I would love to help create a full Swift Firebase Studio alternative instead of the many fragmented tools and projects we currently have. We can holistically align and support the many good OSS initiatives but have a hosted Postgres (like Supabase) + swift edge functions (vapor / hummingbird) as a service, + AI with deep context (like Cursor or AlexCodes etc.) + swift multi platform UI. The sum of the parts becomes 10x. I don't know if we fork Supabase or work with them. Generated revenue should go back to this fund, so by using the hosted service the user is also supporting future swift development.
Imagine having the AI trained on all these things, so with a few prompts we get a fully deployed backend and clients along apple, android, windows, linux, wasm, IoT, all in Swift. I would think this would radically transform software development and drastically increase swift's adoption and influence.
SwiftBase = Storage + edge functions + auth + push + multi-platform + AI
And of course eventually SwiftBase should run on... SwiftOS!
Thoughts?
