Supabase

Impact Learning uses Supabase as its backend infrastructure, providing database storage, user authentication, and file management.

What Supabase Provides

Database (PostgreSQL)

All your learning content is stored in a PostgreSQL database with:

• Projects and chats — Your conversation history and generated content
• Artifacts — Generated components, images, audio, and documents
• User profiles — Account information and preferences
• Templates — Starter templates for different learning formats

Authentication

Secure user authentication including:

• Email and password login
• Session management
• Row-Level Security (RLS) ensuring you only access your own data

File Storage

Persistent storage for all generated and uploaded assets:

• Images — Generated and uploaded images
• Audio — Generated narration files
• Documents — PDFs, markdown files, and other uploads
• Videos — Uploaded video content

All files are stored with signed URLs that automatically refresh for security.

How It Works

Security

Row-Level Security

Supabase RLS ensures that:

• You can only view and edit your own projects
• Shared content is controlled by explicit permissions
• API access is scoped to authenticated users

Signed URLs

All file downloads use signed URLs that:

• Expire after a set period (typically 30 days)
• Are automatically refreshed when needed
• Cannot be guessed or enumerated

Data Persistence

Your work in Impact Learning is automatically saved:

• Real-time saving — Changes are persisted as you work
• Cross-device access — Access your projects from any device
• Version history — Chat history preserves all iterations
