I tend to agree with this sentiment and it's what's driven me to build the mvp for https://sqwok.im . At least for this type of app/product, I don't believe a simple poc would be enough. I needed to get a wor

What problem was Discord solving when they launched? Twitch already existed, Slack existed. Asking because it's a similar question I'm asking myself as I build https://sqwok.im , a news-focused public messaging app. I c

Is that true with Spotify? Didn’t Pandora already exist and have considerable traction? rdio and a few others come to mind as well

Hey arnath, I'm working on a new open public chat app called sqwok. It does _not_ have events, but that said, it's a new alternative for easily starting and sharing a quality chat with anyone. As an example I just made a post abou

Yeah there's a huge boneyard at Davis–Monthan Air Force Base near Tucson, AZ. I would imagine that many of those will sit there into perpetuity, some scrapped for parts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davis%E2%80%93

I found the links to be interesting as well! I had never heard of aimfight.com, or the lady who turns pets into pillows. Also interesting that Boeing adding wi-fi was news at that time, something taken for granted on flights in 2020. More c

What are the odds in our lifetime there will be a probe sent into orbit and then down into the atmosphere with high-resolution cameras that can beam back imagery/video of the entire trip? I think it'd be fascinating to see what it

hey thank you, I appreciate the feedback! I've been working hard to bring it to life and had just pushed out a new @mentions feature right when aws went down... feel free to "@guac" if you feel like trying it out and I'l

do you mean like multi-region? I'd like to get there, one of the aws services is only available in us-east-1 right now (iot related).

https://sqwok.im , it's entirely on aws services... iam is interwoven throughout :] rather than get frustrated, I just chalk it up to 2020, will go for a walk.. oh wait there's apocalyptic smoke outside!

snapchat, instagram, tiktok, those didn't exist when facebook.com started, otherwise I don't think they'd have had much success

Definitely, agree, Django is a great framework and I've used it over the past 5+ years at many companies large and small. When I set off to build my own project I wanted to keep my code as lean as possible and that's one thing I l

I haven't tried it but I did look it over when I was investigating Starlette. May try it out in the future, it seems powerful, and I read about a few projects using it. I ended up just rolling with Starlette because I liked how minimal
