← All questionsBolt built my waitlist in an afternoon but every refresh wipes the list — where is the data going?
About Bolt and Supabase
Barbershop waitlist. People put their name in on the iPad by the door, I tap when it’s their turn. Works until someone refreshes the page and then it’s empty. I asked Bolt to ‘save it’ and it said it did.

It’s almost certainly holding the list in React state, which lives in the tab. Nothing is saved anywhere. Ask Bolt to connect a Supabase project and store the waitlist in a table, it has a built-in flow for that. Be specific: ‘store every entry in a Supabase table called waitlist and load it when the page opens’.

Once it’s in Supabase you also get the list showing up on your phone in real time, not just the iPad, which turned out to be the thing I actually wanted.

TTrav @travPersonal trainer · Personal trainer. Never wrote code before March. Same thing bit me on Rep Log. ‘Save it’ means save to memory to these things. You have to say where.

Connected Supabase, said it exactly like that, works. The table has a column called name and another called name_1 for some reason but I’ll take it.
