Thanks and thanks for the early feedback last year when I was still working on the alpha version.

This "explains the launch of the Chicken Big Mac from an economic point of view" -- this is like the Asymco of fast food.

I think the front end is the most interesting place right now, because it’s where people are making stuff for themselves with the help of LLMs. The browser is a great place to build voice chat, 3d, almost any other experience. I expect a re

We've been using this at work to get inside of our customer's perspective. It's helpful to throw eg a bunch of point-of-sale data sync challenges into Notebook LM and eg pass a 10 minute audio to the team so they can understa

If you like, solving these sort of problems, we are tackling them at Fireproof. Our database API is modeled on CouchDB and MongoDB, but our storage abstractions are along the lines of what you need to build the multi writer WAL you describe

We are wrestling with questions like this on the new document database we’re building. A database should correspond to some administrative domain object. Today in Fireproof a database is a unit of sharing, but we are working toward a broade

Fireproof is taking the lessons of cloujure and Ipfs and applying them to the browser, to create a realtime database that runs anywhere. As cofounder of Couchbase I got to meet Rich Hickey, whose work was a big inspiration to Fireproof. Con

Yes that’s what you’d do. Makes sense to partition eg one chat per database file / proof chain, for lots of reasons including that.

Does this roughly equate to a 99.9% margin? Using comparable analysis if it was a company.

The full op-log plus deterministic merging is a great fit for immutable block storage, which can have other security, performance, and cost benefits. I'm building Fireproof[1] to take advantage of recent research in this area. An addit

Seems like a reasonable way to solve the packing problem. You could override to set priority levels for people, but the background process makes sure no one person goes too long without a meetup.

It's fun to think about the theoretical maximum in a multi-link scenario. One thing that pops out of the analysis -- there are diminishing returns to capacity from adding more links. Which means at some point an additional link can beg

In the same way SQL encourages you to normalize your data for DRY representation, NoSQL encourages you to denormalize for fast retreival. I wrote about this more than a decade ago, and the basics haven't changed: https://web

Is anyone using this as the eyes and mouse of an AI copilot yet?

It fits on your phone, and your phone can offload battery burning tasks to nearby edge servers. Seems like the path consumer-facing AI will take.

I liked your comment but then I "fact-checked" it. OT but curious how wrong this is: https://chat.openai.com/share/638e5461-7a4d-4c12-9103-da1b81...

Having founded a database company that IPO'd (Couchbase) and seeing the kinds of customer relationships Supabase is making, an IPO seems a reasonable outcome.

If you like the idea of the Dolt prolly trees[1], I'm building a database[2] that uses them for indexing, (eventually) allowing for shared index updates across actors. Our core uses open-source JavaScript[3], but there are a few other

We love PartyKit as a real time sync connector for Fireproof. This lets us offer CouchDB or Firebase-like experience with only a browser and less than 100 lines of JavaScript on the backend. Here is what our PartyKit server looks like for t
