--- title: Supabase Beta Sept 2021 description: 'Hackathon, Aborting request, UI updates, and now Hiring.' author: paul_copplestone date: '2021-10-04' tags: - release-notes categories: - product --- Did you know it's been 2 years since the [first commit](https://github.com/supabase/realtime/commit/175f649784147af80acfc9ff5be9d160285c76ea) to Realtime, our real-time engine for Postgres? Before we even existed as a company! We spent this month updating docs and content, improving UX, and [onboarding Developer Advocates](https://twitter.com/thorwebdev/status/1441041268411277322)! ## Hackathon v2 To kick off [Hacktoberfest](https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/), another Supabase Hackathon is happening [right now](/blog/2021/09/28/supabase-hacktoberfest-hackathon-2021). You've got another 7 days to be in to win a limited edition t-shirt. ![Hackathon](/images/blog/2021-sept/hacktober.png) ## Abort Requests We added support for [AbortController](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/AbortController) in our Javascript library so that you can abort long-running queries. \[[Docs](/docs/reference/javascript/select#aborting-requests-in-flight)] ![Abort Requests](/images/blog/2021-sept/Supabase_abort_requests.png) ## Improved table management We've made a number of changes to the Dashboard to expose some great features of PostgreSQL including: ### Column types We've improved the column Type field so that it supports your [custom types](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-createtype.html). ![Column types](/images/blog/2021-sept/columns.png) ### Is Unique We've made it simple to add a unique constraint when creating or editing a table. ![Is Unique](/images/blog/2021-sept/is-unique.png) ### Edit columns By popular request, you can now view all columns in a table at a glance and edit them in bulk. ![Edit columns](/images/blog/2021-sept/edit-columns.png) ## Cross-schema relationships We updated our [grid](https://github.com/supabase/grid) to support relationships across multiple schemas. ![Cross-schema relationships](/images/blog/2021-sept/relationships.png) ## Improved Auth Docs We've revamped the Auth docs - The docs are now broken down into [Authentication](/docs/guides/auth/social-login/auth-apple) and [Authorization](/docs/guides/auth/row-level-security), and organized alongside our [Deep Dive](/docs/learn/auth-deep-dive/auth-deep-dive-jwts) series. ![Auth Docs](/images/blog/2021-sept/auth-docs.png) ## Low Code demo Low Code demo, Using Supabase with [Clutch.io](http://clutch.io/) - [@\_dijonmusters](https://twitter.com/_dijonmusters) ran a [session at General Assembly](https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=642\&v=5fsKMTeBKKY) showing how to use these two tools together to create apps using a low code approach. ## Community There was a lot of new content this month. ### Videos - How I built the #10 product in 30 days - [Gary Tokman \[video\]](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS1myTKJBR4) - GitHub OAuth flow with Supabase + React - [Nader Dabit \[video\]](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSqTzZk9UMg) - The Best Stack for Web Developers - [Christopher Kapic \[video\]](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2s_87QkPEI) - Flutter + Supabase Course - [Abhishvek \[video\]](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjVG6QtUYw4) - React Native Mobile Auth - [Aaron Saunders \[video\]](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBuB-Q6vHDE) - Self Hosting Supabase - [Kelvin Pompey \[video\]](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCqta43JHkU) - Teta Flutter Frontend builder - [Teta Team \[product\]](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rooTglpUuvE) - Magic Link + Route Controls in Next.js - [Nader Dabit \[Video\]](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXWImFqsQF4) - Supabase in 6 minutes - [Nader Dabit \[video\]](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogEitL8RwtQ) ### Twitter We hit 16.5k followers.
