3f205627e0 feat(library): redesign the site around the block catalog (#50372)
## I have read the
[CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
file.

YES

## What kind of change does this PR introduce?

Feature — the visual redesign itself.

Part 5 of 6 in a stack that splits the library redesign into reviewable
pieces. The four PRs beneath it carry the build, content and Markdown
work; what's left here is layout, navigation and styling.

## What is the current behavior?

The library is laid out like a documentation site: a sidebar tree of
framework folders, a homepage that lists links, and a guide page that
opens with prose. That shape suits reference material, but the library's
job is to help someone find a block and install it — and the sidebar is
the only way to discover one.

## What is the new behavior?

The homepage is the catalog itself — blocks grouped by what they do
(authentication, database, storage, realtime, messaging, AI,
foundations) rather than by framework, each with a preview of what it
renders, filterable by category.

Navigation moves into a site header whose Explore menu opens the same
categories, so the catalog is reachable from any page and the per-page
sidebar tree is gone.

A guide opens with what the reader came for: the block's name, the
install command, and a preview pane with tabs — the running component
and its files — before any prose. The file tree that used to sit
mid-page under "Folder structure" is one of those tabs. Every guide also
offers a copy of the agent prompt that points at its Markdown.

Getting-started pages get the same treatment: the quickstart is now a
framework-tabbed walkthrough rather than a wall of setup links.

## Additional context

`BlockOverviewTabs` renders Preview and Files here. #50369, stacked on
top of this one, adds the third "What's added" tab — it is the only part
of the redesign that depends on the new resource analyzer, which is why
it sits above this PR rather than below it.

Also removes what the redesign orphaned: the table-of-contents component
and its `remark` / `mdast-util-toc` dependencies, and the sidebar nav
and command-item configuration the new header replaced.

The block source changes are typography only — auth card titles move
from `text-2xl` to `font-medium text-lg tracking-normal` — which is what
regenerates the auth registry artifacts.

  • Discord. Best for: sharing your applications and hanging out with the community.

How it works

Supabase is a combination of open source tools. We’re building the features of Firebase using enterprise-grade, open source products. If the tools and communities exist, with an MIT, Apache 2, or equivalent open license, we will use and support that tool. If the tool doesn't exist, we build and open source it ourselves. Supabase is not a 1-to-1 mapping of Firebase. Our aim is to give developers a Firebase-like developer experience using open source tools.

Architecture

Supabase is a hosted platform. You can sign up and start using Supabase without installing anything. You can also self-host and develop locally.

Architecture

  • Postgres is an object-relational database system with over 30 years of active development that has earned it a strong reputation for reliability, feature robustness, and performance.
  • Realtime is an Elixir server that allows you to listen to PostgreSQL inserts, updates, and deletes using websockets. Realtime polls Postgres' built-in replication functionality for database changes, converts changes to JSON, then broadcasts the JSON over websockets to authorized clients.
  • PostgREST is a web server that turns your PostgreSQL database directly into a RESTful API.
  • GoTrue is a JWT-based authentication API that simplifies user sign-ups, logins, and session management in your applications.
  • Storage a RESTful API for managing files in S3, with Postgres handling permissions.
  • pg_graphql a PostgreSQL extension that exposes a GraphQL API.
  • postgres-meta is a RESTful API for managing your Postgres, allowing you to fetch tables, add roles, and run queries, etc.
  • Envoy is a cloud-native, high-performance edge and service proxy.

Client libraries

Our approach for client libraries is modular. Each sub-library is a standalone implementation for a single external system. This is one of the ways we support existing tools.
