The "What is SurrealDB" page says "with support for... full-text indexing" which implies that SurrealDB has that now, but the features page lists "Full text indexing and filtering" as "future"

I would suggest changing the description to better distinguish between what's currently available and what's a future plan to match the features page.

Does it similar to supabase?

Any big difference between them?

Please don’t include “built on Rust”.

This is also confusing; there are no mobile bindings that I can find.

Business source license.

Free for personal or commercial use. But service providers have to pay if they offer this database as a service.

But the good part of BSL is that after 4 years it becomes true FLOSS, in this case Apache v2.

However, it is improper to call it FLOSS. Maybe "eventually FLOSS".

Please leave this at the door, we have plenty of posts with "built in Zig" in the title too. It's not even remotely a big deal.
