If you post on a public Discord, I think you are accepting that your comments will be made public. I totally agree with you on private Discords though.

I totally agree - I find myself missing the Google discussions filter (if you remember what that was?) very often. It would let you search only across forums, message boards, and other places where actual discussions where taking place (as

What a fantastic, well-written blog post - well done. Out of curiosity, what's the max # of simultaneous connections per room that LiveBlocks can support? (it's hidden behind the enterprise signup flow today)

hah, what a fun variant. Some of the most fun I've ever had playing chess has been "bughouse" (aka tandem chess). It's basically 2v2 chess with the trick being, you and your partner play opposite colors. Whenever you cap

Very interesting idea - I'd be wary of this rubbing the wrong way against AWS's TOS though.

lots of respect for what you and the team have built at Plaid, but this is exactly the opportunity. As a developer who's worked at multiple fintechs and integrated with Plaid more times than I care to remember, it's an incredibly

If I understand this correctly, it's basically transmitting database changes over a websocket? If so, how does that work re: performance when it comes to something like live cursor positions? Writing to the DB every 50ms for each curso

IMO Erlang/Elixir does it best with the "let it crash" mentality. Once you internalize and truly understand how it works, you won't want to do error handling in any other way. The tldr; handle errors you can handle, let

We thought about using next js ecomm for all the reasons you listed but decided not to because it’s not ready for production use yet. Check out the GitHub repo, there are still a ton of bugs and issues to iron out before you can consider ru

This is very neat - my favorite part so far is being able to synchronize local .env across all developers instantly. We currently use 1Password as a hacky solution for this, which is a bit of a pain. I saw the demo video which looks great -

One of my previous co. used Kafka and hacked something similar together on an internal Retool dashboard + DynamoDB. This definitely makes a lot of sense! Will this work with Celery (python) configured with RabbitMQ as the broker?
