Hello creator of the project. This entire project was motivated by another HN post where someone was asking where we can get information about architectures and system designs across our industry. Seeing there wasn't anything available, I decided to start it; glad to see its resonated with the community.
I hope to create high quality posts from engineers that work on these systems and the challenges they are trying to solve. Really dig into the problems and the technologies and strategies they used to solve it.
What they have learned? Where they have failed?
I also plan to write up deep technical dives on technologies we all rely on and use everyday.
If there is any feedback to improve or you have something you want to write up with me please reach out.
- daneel_w 4y agoWhat was the inspiration for the name?
- simonw 4y agoIf you're asking about Datasette, it's named after the C64 tape drive I used to write my first ever "database" (a tiny program that stored and returned simple records when I was about 8 years old).
- ChrisArchitect 4y agocool. Came to say that other than the nice post almost more interesting was learning about this new site/article project Architecture Notes.
- eatonphil 4y agoBy creator of the project I assume you mean creator of the blog/newsletter, not creator of Datasette?
- googletron 4y agoCorrect. :)
- pc86 4y agoLooks great so far, one nit pick is the menu isn't playing well[0] for Brave Version 1.39.111 Chromium: 102.0.5005.61 (Official Build) (arm64) [0] https://imgur.com/a/WSEVCFG https://imgur.com/a/WSEVCFG
- googletron 4y agoThanks for the feedback. I will look into it.
- lelandfe 4y agoKill the z-index properties entirely on `.toc-wrap` and `.toc` to make it play nicely with full width desktop images :) (or maybe make intentional with e.g. a big blurry box-shadow) Also: thanks for the resource! I felt incredibly lost doing system design interviews over the last few months, this seems like a fantastic site.
- googletron 4y agoThanks for the help there. I am struggling my way through that. I am glad it can be of help and plan to do much more. :)
- usrme 4y agoThanks for doing this! The only things I noticed is that in this image (https://architecturenotes.co/content/images/2022/05/Datasette-sections-04.jpg https://architecturenotes.co/content/images/2022/05/Datasett...) the word "acquire" is misspelled and near the end GitHub is written as "Github" with incorrect casing, despite it being correct earlier on.
- googletron 4y agoGood catch. I will revise this. Thanks for pointing it out.
- singhrac 4y agoHey, I love this. Please keep doing it, we need more of this kind of high quality writing available on the web. When I was just getting started programming, I read the AOSA guides, but they were considerably harder to read than this. There are so many things I love about this: the art style, the large font, the summary image, etc. Great work.
- googletron 4y agoWe worked hard to make very approachable, explain concepts people assume people are aware of. This means a lot and hope to continue producing these and more.
- singhrac 4y agoIs there a way for me to sponsor or donate? I know the most limiting resource is probably your time but let me know if there’s we can do to help.
- googletron 4y agoWe have paid membership that currently doesn’t have much yet.. https://architecturenotes.co/membership/ https://architecturenotes.co/membership/ So you can support there though. Do appreciate it. Hoping to do more technical dives on technologies and use cases here soon.
- klooney 4y agoThere's some prior art: http://aosabook.org/en/index.html http://aosabook.org/en/index.html
- broses 4y agoYou should also check out http://aosabook.org/en/index.html http://aosabook.org/en/index.html, they've collected information on the architecture of a wide range of open source programs.
