I chatted to some YC founders last week who are _exclusively_ using the SQL editor in @supabase to build their app. Because of this feedback we're doing complete overhaul. What would you like to see? (comment here or on github - we just want the feedback) twitter.com/saltcod/status…
since companies like @planetscaledata and @neondatabase offer http based APIs it's easier to build a database GUI that's entirely web based nothing to install, lives in a browser tab, maybe creds through oauth big opportunity for someone who can execute on a Linear quality app
As a CTO, I use No-Code tools. I can't avoid bumping into frustrations every time. These tools are great for short term goals. But they easily become tech debt, if they survive longer than an MVP. 3 examples👇
Every no/low code tool, no matter where they started, is trying to own the full stack twitter.com/lukethomas14/s…
The most ridiculous pricing jump on the internet? @Webflow charging ~$65,000/year for more than 10,000 CMS records. You get 10,000 for $45/month, but if you want 10,001 records you have to upgrade to enterprise?? Where is the CMS record add-on pricing? pic.twitter.com/kxjzEIo8gq
In traditional BI tools, the user interface focuses on individual fields of data. e.g. with drag-and-drop to populate the axes of a pivot table. (1/7) pic.twitter.com/yr5KYR0HTY
3.2 billion people use a spreadsheet every month. But what you don't know is that the spreadsheet led to Apple's early popularity and changed computers forever. Here's the story of VisiCalc👇 pic.twitter.com/CiaLJXuK3k
@tomlarkworthy @ccorcos @sprout_place This is what he meant: Take the case of a famous person tweeting to 20M followers. You need to push out that tweet to each of the 20M followers. That horizontal replication happens outside the database via a trigger and a cloud function
What's the best JS/TS library to use for subscribing to DB changes? ...because @prisma doesn't support this :/
Okay, inheriting apps from other teams is way harder in 2021 than it was in 2011. Not because Ruby on Rails is harder...but because each team has 10-25 different 3rd-party tools they're using..with 25% of them being ones you've never heard of.
Hey team, I’m looking to build a custom CRM for our students for the part time youtuber academy that integrates data from a dozen different sources and helps us track student attendance, performance, support requests etc. Is there software designed for this? Salesforce? Airtable?
I love SQLite so much. And I love that I can point @prisma at a SQLite file, and some day migrate to MySQL / Postgres and basically need no application changes. I wonder how much data I can chuck into a SQLite db and at what point it will become slower to access than MySQL 🧐
What are the options for "serverless" PostgreSQL like these days? My definition of serverless here is that you don't have to spend any money at all if you're not getting any DB traffic, and cost then scales up as the traffic and storage you are using increases
It pains me to say this as a SaaS PM, but most B2B SaaS product functionality is being rapidly commoditized. IMO the next gen of successful SaaS will split into horizontal APIs and vertical customer acquirers, who build trust through content & community to package 3rd party APIs.
- Interesting as a thought experiment, but would love to see it expanded upon as an article (along with concrete vision of the future) and with concrete examples.
What do you have the most experience with?
