Report summary
9 stories cleared the bar, led by Protected Quick Tunnels: simple accountless authentication for your next dev project, Build anything: Supabase from code, and an MCP server for your app, and Supabase is acquiring Turso.
Worth attention
Cloudflare Quick Tunnels now support email-based auth via a single --allowed-mail flag on cloudflared, with no Cloudflare account needed. This makes sharing a local dev app or demo with a client safely a one-liner. Worth trying for demos and webhook-testing workflows.
Supabase now lets agents set up the backend from code, ships an MCP server for your own app so your users' agents can work with it, and adds Supabase Compute for long-running tasks. Directly relevant to MCP/agent work: an app-level MCP server could be a cheap distribution path. Read the docs before committing.
Supabase is acquiring Turso (libSQL/SQLite-edge database) to build database infrastructure for agentic AI. If you depend on Turso, watch for pricing, roadmap or licensing changes; if you use Supabase, expect SQLite-style offerings.
A developer describes a targeted attempt to steal credentials through a malicious git post-checkout hook in a cloned repo. Relevant to anyone cloning unfamiliar repos, especially via recruiter or client 'take-home' requests. Review hooks before running git operations in untrusted clones and consider disabling hooks (core.hooksPath) for them.
Vercel Speed Insights stops recording First Input Delay on November 1; it already uses INP as the responsiveness metric. If you have dashboards, alerts or reports keyed to FID, switch them to INP before then.
Cloudflare launched an Account Abuse Protection dashboard that uses stateful analysis and edge-generated Hashed User IDs to investigate fraud and account abuse. Relevant if you run signup/login flows behind Cloudflare, especially with AI-driven abuse rising. Check plan availability before relying on it.
Supabase announced Multigres (Postgres sharding), OrioleDB and dbarena as its scale story. Interesting direction but nothing to act on until availability and pricing are clear.
Supabase is adding more observability data and tooling so agents can investigate project issues and propose fixes. Track it if you let agents operate your Supabase projects.
Cloudflare announced an OHTTP gateway for privacy-preserving request relaying. Worth a look if you build privacy-sensitive features or proxy requests to model APIs; not urgent.

Feel free to tell what you plan on doing this weekend and even ask for help or feedback. Please keep in mind it’s more than OK to do nothing…
