ExtJS/Sencha was quite powerful and complete. I’ve built tons of SPAs with it in the late 00s.
Wow, I remember Sencha! It’s been a while since I’d heard that name.

What a weird headline. Good? Corruption is bad? Donations to political candidates should not "pay off"
Headlines, like most journalism, ought to be neutral. Your reaction is valid; another reaction might be anger, that these CEOs are firing workers in service of funding corrupt (and now, fruitless) ambitions.

It’s a neat trick! A simpler choice would be to use Postgres’ own ltree data type: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/ltree.html
I wrote about how we use it here: https://www.yetto.app/blog/post/how-labels-work/

My startup yetto.app offers such an integration out of the box. We’re building a support tool that integrates with all sorts of communication platforms (email and Slack, but also GitHub, Jira, Zendesk, Linear, and SMS).
TBH looking at helpdesk software in 2025, I would expect new ones to be built AI first. It would be hard for me to consider one without at least some sort of LLMs helping with triage or at classifications of tickets, etc.
I never said we didn’t have AI :) Just that the vast majority of apps out there push AI agents, when a human will do just fine. We should be making the harder problems easier, not the easy problems faster.
We support parsing your entire help docs into a DAG, so support professionals can have easy access to the most relevant existing docs to answer an end user’s problem. We also provide summarization of incoming tickets so that support teams can understand quickly what the problem is.
I’ve toyed with doing sentiment analysis, but our experience with customers in the support space is that they want the AI to give them information and then get out of the way.
Haven't formed thoughts on the content yet, but happy to see a company launching something non-AI for a change.
My startup, Yetto (http://www.yetto.app) is building a better way for support professionals to do their job. (Shameless plug but we always gotta hustle.)
We, too, are weighed down by how much space AI-focused companies are taking.
Tintin has been satirized for years already, so we have an idea of what might be yet to come!

I found Breaking Free at random in a Brighton bookstore decades ago and it remains a cherished treasure. Glad to see someone else out there enjoyed it!
