Congrats on the launch! Very impressive product!

I'm surprised that the developer experience around sandboxing on macOS is generally so bad. Seatbelt is in limbo and apple containers are just a pain to work with as some have highlighted in this thread

I will charge you $100 to answer that question

We weren’t affected, but as a startup I’ll take a minor outage over getting stonewalled by GCP/Azure/AWS any day. Railway has consistently been responsive and actually understands the problem you’re describing. With the big three, unless you’re spending serious money or paying for premium support, you often just get links to docs instead of real help.

We include $5 in credits for every new account, after which you can pay-as-you-go for credits. I can drop some more credits in your account so you get to try it out fully, let me know what's the email (I'm a at livedocs)

Livedocs runs locally on your machine or on customer-managed infra, has full terminal access, supports canvas mode for building custom UIs (not just charts), and uses long-running agent workflows with sub-agents coordinating work over time, etc

There is a lot more to data work than just SQL + charts like the tool you mentioned

True! Tried to do that with the video + the example prompts but definitely could use improvement. Thanks for the feedback

In our case, in order to run the queries we need to provision a sandbox and connect to your data sources to give meaningful answers, unlike a general purpose chat. We need to have some authentication to prevent abuse here, but the product itself has a free tier so you can use it without paying or needing a card.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Working on Livedocs.com

We are building a modern alternative to Jupyter, something like Cursor meets Jupyter.

https://livedocs.com

An AI data scientist for serious data work. Think of it like an AI native Jupyter notebook.

Check out livedocs.com, we built a notebook around Polars and DuckDB (disclaimer: I'm the founder)

We use Vega pretty heavily, its a broader ecosystem. Where it really shines is in combination with Altair and Vegafusion to do number-crunching on the backend and return a chart spec that can just be rendered on the front-end.

That makes it particularly useful when building interactive visualizations with a lot of data.

Is the Python code executing via Pyodide in the browser?

Out of curiosity, what took you 10 years? Keen to hear your journey as someone building in the same space..

I see, thanks!

Assuming you use a connection pool, why would it stop? Either the query returns a result or it doesnt? Am I missing something?

Noob question: What is the advantage of replicating data into a warehouse vs. just querying it in place on a postgres database?

That sounds like a great add! Will add this in over the weekend!

This is great, especially to introduce new devs to models. I use (and love) TablePlus (https://tableplus.com/) which has a diagram generator plugin that does the same!

I imagine this is possible because of better modulation of the acoustic and pressure controllers to minimize energy loss..

Probably not. A similar acoustic heat pump company (https://www.blueheartenergy.com/ourtechnology) claims 30 db, so this is probably going to be in the ball park.

It uses the acoustic wave to expand and contract pressurized helium, and then conduct heat created from the subsequent pressure oscillation.

@dang is truly a legend. Shared some thoughts with him about an idea I had and feedback was truly insightful. Massive hat-tip to the legend!

Chiming in here — not sure about this. I checked for a name that showed as "available" on the link above. I requested the owner of that Github handle a year ago if they were willing to release it to me, as they have zero public repos on there. Long story short, they didn't.

No chance that Github will take the handle off them and give it to us too.

My point is, this is definitely a bug, since the above account is not a ghost account.

Thanks!
