Hi there!
I always wanted to contribute to OSS. I tried direct ways to do it, like Hacktoberfest, finding good-first-issues, reading contribution guides. Nevertheless, after a while I found that the best way to do it (for me) was to actually build something I was passionate about first, which naturally led to contributions.
tl;dr: Stop trying to force contributions. Start by solving your own problems, and the contributions will follow.
Curious about how did you started to contribute? Any fun stories around that?

Interesting thought, this reminds me of the universal paperclips game, but applied to a start-up. I believe gamifying onboardings could be an interesting experiment, but haven't seen any company lately trying this.

Nice one, more of a random question: are you planning on having paid only features for the project, or have it fully self-hosted version be the same in terms of features as the hosted one?
> query history and replay
For clarification- am I correct that what you are referring to as "time travel" is simply a history list of prior queries you've run? Can I today, run a query and see what the results would have been in the database last month (or yesterday, or 2 hours ago, etc)?
I also understood that, but seems unreasonable to be able to achieve it without somehow storing the state via scd or some sort of audit + multi engine support

After the release yesterday, I think it's an interesting move from Google, and specially the sample code they have in the repo.
Seems like a natural move after the MCP release, and I'm curious to see how many A2A new tools will appear in the next weeks, has anyone already started working on a Python library to implement the A2A interface?
They say that MCP can be used in conjunction, but I'm not sure if this actually makes the type of interaction move from the MCP (tool) level to the agent level.
Also, the auto-discovery with the well-known/agent.json I think it's something that is missing on the MCP world (?).
What do you think about it?
I just received the email from Github that they enabled Spark for my account, and I wanted to give it a try. I asked the same prompt to Spark and v0 and Spark did pretty good, and actually it let change the theme (in an opinionated) way that is pretty easy if you want to try some presets.
It's a simple text to JSON tool using a few common models, using an API key that is stored in the browser, you can see it in the repo here: https://github.com/spark/tarasyarema/text-to-json-schema. Surprisingly I always end up doing a lot of this type of operations, and wanted to give it a try, maybe I end up using it :D
What do you think about Github moving into this realm of generative apps? Will they win the lovables' and v0s?
Only bad thing is
1. You can not make the link public... you need to be signed in into Github... 2. Tried to deploy with Vercel and seems the spark module is private...
Also in the first try it used a function spark.llm which was not even exported which felt weird, and actually required no API key... I could not find any docs around it, anyone has some insights on it?
Cheers!
