Disappointed it requires postgres. We need to be focusing on running some of these things at home with small, mostly self-contained desktop-style apps. Many people have always on home machines (or this stuff could justify one). NAT busting has been mostly solved, but you could use something like Tor onion services otherwise.

- kitotik 8y agoI had the exact same reaction. As much as I love postgres for monolithic business systems, its a horrible choice for something that to see meaningful adoption needs near-zero barrier of entry. if it can’t easily download and run on an rpi it seems like a poor architecture for the use case.
- TekMol 8y agoWhy can't you run postgres on a rpi? Isn't installing postgres as easy as mysql aka 'apt install mysql-server'?
- 18pfsmt 8y agoI thought I was going to be the only one to raise this issue. Not only are the advanced features of postgres unnecessary, these types of fleeting platforms don’t really need to have their histories maintained. HN runs without a DB just using flat files, IIRC.
