Airbus A320neo is just a better plane. A case study where better engineering provided a competitive advantage.

$20-50 / month Though I'm a picky and very demanding user who likes to use API, etc, you have been warned :-).

The brainer price would be $20 / month. $50 / month if it was terrific. The trick has to be really useful without too much work on my end. Combine screen scraping and simulating real users with some mix of AI. My use cases: 1. Fil

My use cases: 1. Fill any form with intelligent data (from orders, through plane tickets to tax forms). Think of ChatGPT but for forms. 2. Research any person and company using various tools (e.g. LinkedIn, Google, job boards). Do it at hum

Great story. For reference, it was already on Hacker News a few times : Polish trains lock up when serviced in third-party workshops: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38530885 Dieselgate, but for trains – some heavyweig

I wish someone made a similar command line tool that does screen scraping, is powered by AI and could simulate clicks as a real user.

I agree with you that schema has tremendous value. Let's store JSON everywhere and infer it on read, backfires in a big way. Even MongoDB added tooling to enforce a schema. I just wish there was a better tooling to evolve schema. Blue&

My biggest problem with databases is that they are very hard to evolve. They accumulate a history of decisions and are in a suboptimal state. Legacy is widespread in enterprises. Oracle is still milking $ 50B+ annually, and the databases ar

I know that SigNoz uses Clickhouse and focuses more on observability UX. Quickwit is its own data engine.

The data product has a very high-quality bar, even for MVP. You can't lose data, slow things down, need a lot of table stakes functionality, etc. I'm not even going to start with SOC2 compliance... There is a healthy amount of sce

Some ideas are suitable for indie hacking, others need venture funding. Surprisingly, the world went quickly from 2022, raising as much as possible, growing at all costs, to the belief that indie hacking is the only way. I strongly encourag

The article was already quite long, and adding Quesma's part might even double it. I spend a few months working full-time before raising the money for the final idea. Indie hacking might work for some businesses, but many companies nee

I believe there are many specialized insurance opportunities. Things that are not insured today, but we found customers willing to pay or switch from the current offer, which was terrible. For example, pet insurance in some markets is very

I used AI for copywriting. I wrote every initial sentence. The amount of facts and words is roughly same as in my draft.

Satellite to smartphone can cover gaps in rural areas, but unlikely to be high bandwidth or support many users.

Currently, there seems to be no tech that allows economical deep-sea mining. It is challenging, yet I can't see a compelling tech demo or explanation of why it nailed tech breakthroughs. There is not yet a shale oil moment. Looking at

Good idea. However, there is more to gain if database proxy were more intelligent. 1. A lot of OLTP databases are abused with OLAP-style queries. It would be great if the proxy could detect and re-route it to read replicas or the warehouse.

I already see companies with BigQuery setuped. I would like to quickly grab some data, queries and dashboards and run them in my local warehouses.

It's a cool idea, but it looks incomplete for the production use case. 1. Usually, you want to run some warehouse all the time. Bring their data through ETL, run transformation, and report. This goes against the local environment. Idea

Well, justice takes time and this is a complex novel case. I would rather have a system that is right than prematurely put innocent behind bars. However, if the allegations turn out to be true, which seems to have a decent probability, they

Article 254a of the Polish Penal Code addresses the obstruction of railway operations and other critical infrastructure. Violating this law can result in a prison sentence ranging from 6 months to 8 years. It doesn't matter whether the

Given genetics could be vastly valuable, perhaps we need a new architecture. Like 1Password. Genetic data is never available at rest without the user-provided key.

Most devs would be better off upgrading their database and using vectors there. They need to change the schema, but it's way easier than introducing a new database. A specialized vector database would be needed in just a few relatively

Hashicorp is one of the extreme examples. Terraform Cloud is an okay product at best, which went from expensive to very expensive. Moreover, they aggressively changed the Terraform license from open-source to BSL. So after the whole communi

Any ETA for questions? I asked during Product Hunt launch and still waiting for the answer. There should be option to provide e-mail and get notified.
