Tell HN: I will help solve your roadblock/s for 1 hour of your time
I have a pretty diverse set of skills, I mostly work with node and do front end dev. Currently, I work doing a little bit of everything at a small fintech company. I could add value/help you with:
setting up and implementing a social meda strategy and campaign.
Doing a quick mockup or design critique.
Competitive strategy. Looking at the space you are in and finding non-traditional competitors, changes and partners. Or thinking about a business model.
Letting you vent for a bit because contrary to what you tell everyone, maybe you aren't "killing it, I love being an Entrepreneur!" Or "just gabbed coffee with [well known sandhill entity] and I'm getting tons of interest"
Looking at your product and company and providing a thoughtful critique.
Etc.
I need maybe 1 hour of someones time to help me think about structuring my project. It will have a forum with users, entities that are organizations that might not be active, articles (like news not db) and just generally how to think about the data. I haven't really scaled anything out and there is no reason to beleive this will be massive, but I am just not sure how to set up the dbs and website to serve 10-100k users, obviously not "big data" but more of just a way to get some best practices and find some good resources.
Anyway,
Maybe you don't need any of thr stuff I listed, it would be cool if you coukd get/give help from someone else as this isn't just about my small experiment.
Cheers

If yes, what you need is the "Merise method". This is the one true way to model your data as long as your requirements don't include a non relational database (NoSQL). Sadly Merise remained a French thing and to my knowledge was never translated. It's old and unsexy, but it makes designing a relational database schema a breeze. However I don't do web dev so I can't help you there. But I'm sure you will find plenty of web people here.
- vonklaus 11y agohttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merise https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merise Interesting this is helpful. I am looking for a conceptual model and inplementation. I have done small prototypes with crud, but I want to make sure I build with intent. Another component will be users who subscribe to 1-10 data feeds that in a poor case should not be more than 1 sec stale. Just trying to move from sloppy project to basic security & optimization. This looks like a decent concept and I am currently thinking about the relational model, so thanks. You stuck on anything?
- jmnicolas 11y agoI'm not stuck on anything right now, however I'm not against helping a fellow hacker for free as long as you don't expect too much. Let me remind you that I don't have any significant experience in web dev, so I can help you with the relational model, offer opinions about what DB to use but after that I'm of no use.
