Agreed. It is curious how the agent got nudged to add auth in that one. I did another ad-hoc but this time I added "Use guest auth" to the prompt. This way you don't need to enter an email. Full prompt below Create a habit tr

When you're experimenting on ideas, it's really nice when time to hello world is near zero. It's also nice when you aren't limited to a certain number of dbs or your projects get paused. This makes it so much more deligh

Funny enough we added this in awhile back when it seemed more conclusive that this does matter. But I was curious and just did an adhoc eval. Here's a version with the aesthetic line included https://with-aes.vercel.app&#x2F

Always been able to host it! We’ve had docker compose instructions since open sourcing. Instant has evolved quite a bit in the last 18 months. With all the new functionality self-hosting has become a bit more fiddly. This PR is aimed at mak

You can use `db.subscribeQuery` on the server to react to react to changes. We plan to add webhooks soon to make this even easier. And yes eventually we'd love to support SDKs in other languages too!

I think Stopa has a great answer here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47711803 You can certainly use Instant without AI! We indexed on making the API easy to understand so projects built with Instant are easy to mainta

We use LWW on the attribute level which greatly reduces conflicts. There are certainly cases where you'll need a different CRDT but this works great for a lot of use cases. Including Figma! https://www.figma.com/blog&#x

We've been around long enough that the LLMs already natively know how to use us! If you give them a little bit of context they can use the platform fully.

Appreciate it! We thought it was a nice touch too and a fun way to highlight the power of Instant! Realizing we didn’t highlight this as a use case — but you can use our ephemeral app feature (it’s free) to easily add your own interactive d

Thank you for the deep feedback Moose! Agreed lots of opportunity for simplification. There’s so much context in this space. When talking about why sync we mention optimistic updates, multiplayer, and offline mode. To motivate the complexit

Thank you! We last updated our website when open sourced back in August 2024 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41322281 Back then most folks weren't building full-on apps with AI yet. Since then we've seen a la

You can think of this as the number of devs. So if you're working on an app as a team you all can use the dashboard and CLI tools to manage the app. No limit on number of end users for what you build

We built Instant to optimize for two things: We wanted to make a tool that (a) would make it easy to build delightful apps, and that (b) builders would find easy to use. This got us into making things that touch both local-first and AI. On
