I'm struggling to remember/find the exact story but like 6 months ago, some dev had built a guestlist or q&a & used some off the shelf Notion-y thing - maybe some form builder tool. There was seemingly IMHO a lot of protest the dude didn't make some kind of php script or something one off & "simple" for the job. But they'd used existing tools.to make a real data pipeline. And potentially could keep making new tools around similar pipelines. They had invested in some pipe building technology and it felt like no one was interested in giving credit for that. Seperately, Karlicoss has HPI as their personal data toolkit/pipeline, and a massive map of services & data systems they've roped into HPI (and HPI-near) systems. https://beepb00p.xyz/hpi.html https://beepb00p.xyz/hpi.html https://beepb00p.xyz/myinfra.html https://beepb00p.xyz/myinfra.html

It was this article! Self-hosting forms, the sane way https://karelvo.com/blog/selfhosting-forms-the-sane-way https://karelvo.com/blog/selfhosting-forms-the-sane-way https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40179398 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40179398 N8n for open source workflow, https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n Nocodb as an open source airtable / spreadsheet, https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb Again, for a single use this feels overkill. But it's a set of tools that once deployed will allow for extremely rapid personal data pipelines to be built!

Karlicoss's HPI idea was one of my earliest inspirations here. I loved their idea of being able to somewhat "call" this database of information. The infra diagram is truly impressive!
