Can we update the title to say Free trial? The minimum tier is still $40/month (though that is a huge improvement and makes this a reasonable option for startups). Was really hoping for something that could scale to zero. Better than n

Interesting, I'm using Grafana Cloud for just a few Prometheus metrics at the moment and have found it reasonable so far so am interested in what scale up looks like. I'm curious—what other sorts of services are you referring to i

I was just thinking the same thing. Prompt exfiltration :D. (Worth noting that using OpenAI's API to exfiltrate weights and such from the model is disallowed in their terms, though this seems distinct from that.) Playing with it a bit,

Fun game! Always loved these types of Jeopardy clues I encountered some sort of UI/input bug where pressing the letter S highlights the letter S but actually enters the letter A. (iOS, tested on Firefox and Safari)

Not exactly what you're looking for but in case helpful, I used Fresh/Deno/Deno Deploy for a toy project & have some takeaways that might apply more broadly: - there's a bunch of mildly annoying paper cuts due to not

Love the name! Really evocative of what the product does / looks like concretely. Would be neat if you could e.g. earn credits to use a service or points towards swag as you complete tasks for a given API. Could see this expanding to e

I feel like once web browsers / hardware devices start to implement authentication the UX and accessibility of these sorts of tools can become a default choice for user data. The hard part is solving the "lost my yubikey" UX

Something about the idea of being able to back things up on multiple remote target storage services sounds extra compelling. Simple encryption with robust backup for e.g. text notes.

I like it, a nice simple approach! Fun reading through the code, heres the bit that does the encryption (I think): https://github.com/nathants/git-remote-aws/blob/c8012c5a6b80...

Are there any historical metrics out there on uptime/stability by region? Would be interesting to see a top-line comparison (GCP and Azure regions would also be neat)

To be clear, I am not affiliated with that web service other than as a now happy paying user. I only replied with my experience getting started running Redis on it since that was GP's question and I found it useful while first learning

I've been using UpStash's serverless Redis offering and it's worked super well for my needs. Scales to zero/free which was nice for getting started, and using their http SDK didn't need to worry about concurrent con
