I think RevenueCat does the same thing. Smart way to exploit network effects!

I just released my 2nd app to the App Store: Just Chess Puzzles It’s as simple as it sounds: 100,000 chess puzzles, all offline, rated (just like chess.com or lichess puzzle modes) A big thing I added that makes mine unique is the play it o

It’s honestly welcoming to simply see a modern Numbers alternative- I never liked how Numbers handles filters, sorting, and views all different… all agentic AI stuff sound like a bonus to me

All these “is this ethical” comments remind of similar discussions happening in the IMG_0416 articles, about YouTube video that were most likely not meant to be scene publicly: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42102506

Never heard of this! This would’ve saved me a blog post. I tried all sorts of queries to see if this philosophy existed, and “domain” didn’t pop up in my head. Thank you!

This is a great point. I did bring up the relationship exercise in the post, but admittedly I didn't give it enough respect. In college, my database teacher told us to design a database with at least 50 tables and 100 relationships by

Something I'm really good at is ending my articles with half-baked ideas :) so thank you for challenging it Regarding "entities", totally understand. I like to write in ways that my mom would understand- not the HN community.

I used to write 5 things to be happy about on a whiteboard outside my dorm room every day. I wanted to get back into it! So I built a site purely for that purpose. The coolest part is the "Bonus". Anyone online can contribute to t

Makes sense. The fact that my SQL Editor puts tables and views in the same section on its left sidebar was the main reason I did a double-take. The idea of deleting and recreating views is an interesting one. I see that as a really cool app

Gotcha. Yeah- I was thinking of working with my engineers to figure out a permissions layer, but I understand enforcing that at the DB-level would guarantee security. Dumb question- is creating a set of Views for each customer even efficien

by bewal416 10mo ago
Okay- just spent the whole day tinkering wit this: 1) I create a baseline set of views I want my customers to have 2) For each new customer, I’ll run a script that create a replica of those views- filtered by their customer ID 3) I’ll allo

We do have a single-tenant DB. That’s one of my architecture challenges- how to handle permissions and clean up the schema a bit to entities that only my users need.
