I had one of those for S3stat for a while. It lost decisively in A/B tests to the ugly wall of text that it replaced, so that’s what’s up there today:

https://www.s3stat.com/Pricing.aspx

I’m still waiting for the next generation of trendy SaaS companies to crib it.

I love your page. Being an authentic human and actually having some personality seem to be like secret weapons these days.

Given how badly I’ve seen a/b tests being conducted at multiple companies, I’m not sure I’d assume anything from competitors works particularly well.

Would concur 100% on "blind leading the blind" here.

Loading more than a few thousand rows on a web page will make unusably slow. Especially when you add a lot more features to it.

This is such that only what's seen or about to be seen is put on the page. The rest is kept ready on the server on local memory depending on what the user is doing.

This allows for a scalable solution that allows you to view thousands of records and interact with them

I'm not so sure that loading "more than a few thousand rows" is as bad as it used to be.

I did some quick benchmarks a couple years back. It's been a while but I want to say that Chrome was drawing 10k rows of a decent size each (10 columns of real world data and about 500b/row iirc) in about 300ms on a 10 year old MBP.

I'll do a little benchmarking later today if I get a chance.

I don't know, classifieds still exist. Obviously internet is superior for this, but not everyone can afford internet of any kind, since the bloat scaled with Moore's law. 500KB/s right will give you the same rate of browsing articles as dial up in the 90s. Phones have been becoming obsolete after 2 years. That doesn't necessarily dictate the market but yeah.

It's funny you mention 500kb/s. I have a painfully slow connection at home currently (long story). It's exactly in the 500kb/s to 800kb/s range and "dial up speed" is exactly how I describe it.

Is Elon still super sensitive about ADS-B? Asking for a friend... who lives next to Austin Bergstrom airport. And has 6 rtl-sdr's on his desk begging for mission...

Agreed. Security is a task that not even a group of humans can perform with upmost scrutiny or perfection. 'Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty' and such. People want to move fast and break things without the backing infrastructure/maintenance (like... actually checking what the AI wrote).
runlaszlorun · 25 days ago
Ah yes... Move face and break things. Well Facebook didn't overpromise on that one...

Totally understandable, your concerns are valid. I will have to figure out the CLI part, I would prefer to keep it private (at least for now), but I get it that people don't want to provide DB access to a completelly new tool.

And yes, you're absolutely right about the lack of screenshots. I realize now how important that is for trust and clarity. I’m working on improving the landing page with proper visuals, and I’m also exploring the idea of a live demo using an in-browser SQLite DB — that should let people try it instantly without setup. It’ll take a bit of time, but it’s now high on the priority list. Appreciate the feedback!

I'd second the screenshot recommendation.

But def looks very interesting and i like the simple minimal design on mobile. Logo's great too. Congrats on getting it out there!

I feel like Django has the largest RoI of any framework out there
runlaszlorun · a month ago
Completely OT and apologies if rude, but you're Gary Numan the musician?

I love finding out when celebrities have talents elsewhere. And Wikipedia says you've had quite a bit of aviation experience as well.

Kinda makes my morning... lol

p.s. The inner city cynical kid in me is now required to throw in that I found Django disappointing even though every else seems to love it. Ok... identity restored... can now go back to shaking my fist at the sky as per usual...

I feel like this one line captures the elephant in the room that the author is trying hard to convince himself isn't there...
