   Love this. +1 for the Goodreads import! I think it will make it easier for people to try! Adding a link to buy the books on bookshop in addition to Amazon could be a nice touch too to support local bookstores

   Thank you for the kind words on the rules/documentation! It was definitely an iterative process to figure out how to get good results. We have an llms.txt and llms-full.txt (~9k lines) which contains all our documentation. Feeding thes

    We offer a generous free tier which doesn't limit your number of projects, never pauses, and available for commercial use. The pro plan is $30/mo and then pay for usage.

    We love the small API and fast getting started experience of Firebase. We take a lot of inspiration from them for our write api. Hand-rolling joins was often a pain point though and we thought a graphql-like interface was a better experienc

    Clojure was made with databases and concurrency in mind. We've used it at previous startups, projects, and find it a productive language. Also the clojure community is amazing. The clojurians slack is one of the most helpful communitie

    We provide support for optimistic updates and offline mode out of the box. Without these it's a real schlep to build Linear-level applications. [1] [1] https://www.instantdb.com/essays/next_firebase#supabase-hasu..
