If you can say, what are her clientele like?

It's a cool technique, but at $0.01/call this would cost like... $30 to sort 10k items and take several minutes. Lots of people can get by with just embeddings

Potentially everything hosted on netlify — including their own website.

hmm, does this really count as malware? I understand where you're coming from but ultimately it's just text

Check out https://tailwindcss.com/ — it's been gaining popularity as a CSS system and comes with great defaults

Thanks for the feedback on pricing — it's definitely a work in progress (and we'll make the visual distinction clearer on our website). Our goal is to be as accessible as possible, so we're flexible with the plans right now. Pricing shouldn't be the reason that a team misses out on data issues.

When you sign up, you'll have access to everything immediately, so you can connect and try it out and when we start enforcing the limits, we'll give you ample notice.

I'm curious if you have opinions on the plans and pricing. Do the plans make sense as 1. individual 2. team for warehouse 3. team for whole stack 4. enterprise?

That sounds like a great plan. We're planning to build our public API and CI/CD integrations early next year, so that developers can know what the downstream impact of their changes might be, and whether it could introduce unexpected results. We may be able to slot right in there with Pact.

Mitigating the impact with monitoring is where we're at right now, but we're with you that preventing errors can be even more important.

If it's interesting to you, we're happy to open up a shared slack channel to dig into the nuance as well! Just email me (guru@metaplane.dev) with the email you'd like to be added.

1) An integration with Metabase Cloud is on our roadmap for Q1! We'd love to integrate with Lightdash, but they don't have a public API just yet[1].

2) Several of our customers use us to alert on schema changes in Postgres, specifically so they can get ahead of application database changes that will end up in the warehouse, so you're definitely not alone! Here's a link on how to connect postgres: https://docs.metaplane.dev/docs/postgres

That's an excellent stack and one we kept front and center when building out Metaplane, so definitely let us know if you have any feedback or suggestions here!

Hightouch user here. HT actually has a lot of that - git integration [0], visual segmentation [1]. Not sure about self-hosting though. Open-source is cool, will check it out.

The Salesforce data is in Salesforce, and the HubSpot data is in HubSpot, and the Mixpanel data is in Mixpanel, but those applications don't have each others data (not to mention missing any transformations on top). E.g. As a sales rep, you can benefit from understanding product usage and marketing activity for a contact in salesforce

Thanks for mentioning this! I've also been looking to donate to Sri Lankan charities in the north-east but it has been difficult to understand which charities are still operating and have a legitimate impact.

Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll look at the data.

Amazing. I've been using repl.it to teach my cousins how to code and it just completely eliminates the burden of having to learn git, terminal, build processes so we can make cool things as quickly as possible.

I feel like you could teach programming with real languages at a much earlier age with tools like Repl.

I feel like this could be cool but don't quite grasp the use case. Could you add a video or walkthrough?

Yes and yes. Feel free to DM me on twitter (same username). Also check out Ginkgo Bioworks (http://ginkgobioworks.com/), one of the top 100 YC companies. They're working on some really hard problems.

Check out Kepler (https://kepler.space) -- they're doing great work in satellite constellations to provide constant access to the internet in underserved parts of the world. I can vouch for the founders and team.

Tell them that you're really focused on customer development or building product right now (which I'm sure you are anyway) and that you'll reach out to them later ahead of fundraising. You don't owe them anything!

Great question! As a team of software engineers and data scientists, we relied on observability tools like Datadog to build reliable infrastructure for products, but were really surprised that it didn't exist.

We're not 100% sure you can't just use Datadog for this, but it seems to be shoehorning a technology to a usecase its not designed for.

Ah, sorry about that! Just posted it again without "Show HN:" in the title!

Appcues | Senior Frontend Engineer | Boston, MA | ONSITE | Full-time | https://www.appcues.com

At Appcues, we’re helping teams create products their users love. We think leaving a great first impression is a large part of that, so we've created a platform that lets product managers create onboarding experiences for their products—without needing to write any code.

Many front-end engineers spend a lot of time doing the same non-domain-specific work at every company: building onboarding tours, modals, and tooltips. Like AWS did with many non-domain-specific backend tasks, we're here to take this burden away from the engineers and empower product managers to do it themselves, freeing engineers to work on the hard technical problems they really enjoy.

Major companies like Canva, Lyft, and IBM are already using us to create amazing user experiences, and over 30M people have seen experiences built with Appcues this year.

Appcues' web products are built with ES6, React, Redux, Styled Components, and the rest of the modern frontend tech cast.

We're looking for a great frontend engineer to bring our product and user interface to the next level. You will collaborate directly with our users and our 14 incredibly talented engineers—veterans from companies like HubSpot, PayPal, Bose and the MIT Media Lab—to ship product that solves real problems.

Hit me up, apply online, or check out our glassdoor for more information.

Seems very similar to http://datausa.io

Don't believe everything you read -- especially when there's a single source.

Hey caiob, thanks for responding, it's definitely a popular request (see other comments on this post). I wish we could do better than the pop-up, but it's the only way we can support group chat.
