FIX BY SYMPTOM

Data not saving in your Supabase app?

When a form in a Supabase app "saves" but nothing appears, the write was usually blocked by Row Level Security (no INSERT or UPDATE policy), the row's user_id does not match the signed-in user, or the code ignores the error that supabase-js returns instead of throwing. In AI-built apps, the screen is sometimes still wired to mock data. VibePitstop fixes this as an auth & database security fix, without opening your tables to everyone.

Why writes silently fail

No INSERT policy: inserts fail with 42501 (new row violates row-level security policy).
UPDATE without a matching SELECT policy or using clause: the update affects zero rows and returns no error.
.insert().select() needs a SELECT policy too, or you get an error after a successful insert.
user_id not set or wrong: the with check compares it to auth.uid().
Errors ignored: supabase-js returns { data, error }; if nobody reads error, failures look like success.
Still on mock data: the UI updates local state and never calls the database.

Make failures visible, then fix the policy

const { data, error } = await supabase
  .from("todos").insert({ title }).select();
if (error) console.error(error.code, error.message);

-- default the owner to the signed-in user
alter table public.todos alter column user_id set default auth.uid();
create policy "own rows: insert" on public.todos
  for insert to authenticated with check ((select auth.uid()) = user_id);

Never "fix" this by disabling RLS or using the service role key in the browser.

FAQ

Why does my Supabase update return no error but change nothing?

RLS filtered the row out, so zero rows matched. Add an UPDATE policy with using and with check, plus a SELECT policy.

Should I disable RLS to make saving work?

No. With RLS off, anyone holding your public anon key can read and change the table.
