Before you begin, it's important that you (or someone on your team) are comfortable with FlutterFlow's workflow for managing custom code in GitHub as documented [here](https://docs.flutterflow.io/customizing-your-app/manage-custom-code-in-github). Using PowerSync with FlutterFlow currently requires dropping down into Dart code and merging code changes using git.

Used in conjunction with **FlutterFlow**, PowerSync enables developers to build offline-first apps that are robust in poor network conditions and that have highly responsive frontends while relying on Supabase for their backend. This guide provides instructions for how to configure PowerSync for use with your FlutterFlow project that has Supabase integration enabled.

Since the FlutterFlow tutorial was published, RLS is now mandatory for new tables created in Supabase. This is for development purposes only — it's important to use RLS in production.
