Because no one has a reliable solution to that problem. The file deletion angle is easier to advertise. "runs in a sandbox, can't touch your system" fits on a landing page, even if it's not the more important problem.

that's cool. if would be great if you can add real-world examples for use-cases on the main page.

Thanks for the benefit of the doubt. I typed that in a hurry, and it didn’t come out the way I intended.

We had the idea that there’s a class of apps [1] that could really benefit from our tooling - mainly Fireproof, our local-first database, along with embedded LLM calling and image generation support. The app itself is open source, and the hosted version is free.

Initially, there was no login or signup - you could just generate an app right away. We knew that came with risks, but we wanted to explore what a truly frictionless experience could look like. Unfortunately, it didn’t take long for our LLM keys to start getting scraped, so the next best step was to implement rate limiting in the hosted version.

We (https://vibes.diy/) are betting on this

I feel like we’re on the verge of seeing the start of a whole new wave of local-first apps (and "personal software" as mentioned here https://x.com/rauchg/status/1840293374059839726), but we’re really missing Rails-like frameworks that offer a complete package for development. Something that gives you all the tools you need—from syncing, conflict resolution, state management, authorization, background jobs in the context of local-first to deployment—without having to reinvent the wheel.

I built a simple SaaS [1] to get a sense of what's missing and while React Router + a syncing local first database [2] + $5/month Cloudflare gets you pretty far, I still found myself needing to think through a lot of pieces

This list from LessWrong is ok: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/xg3hXCYQPJkwHyik2/the-best-t...

You are allowed to work full-time with J-2 without a work visa. But you need to get an EAD ("employment authorization document"). Not sure about the recent processing times, but I usually received mine in ~50-60 days from sending the application.

What's DNB?

That's interesting. What are other uses for your implant?

This is great. How is the business side of it?

Human breast milk is a poor source of vitamin D, that's why it is recommended as a supplement.

Is the underlying data updated in realtime?

What does "the mistake" look like?

They are small businesses, promoted by hourly workers. What does that have to do with VCs?

Not for some users though, usable for some requests. Users will still be annoyed when they can't complete actions, because some of their requests are failing randomly.

I used this last year for ~ 10 flights. https://github.com/aortbals/southwest-checkin

Somehow I assumed, once you create a distributed table, subsequent queries involving the distributed keys will be magically resolved for distribution.

The modeling in the example seems weird:

- Why do you need a user_id in todo_items if you already associate lists to users in todo_lists table?

- "If users have the same list ID..." Why would they?

I have used https://www.icyte.com/ for years to combat link rot (disclaimer: I am currently the maintainer of the site).

My current favourite tool is this chrome extension(https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/save-to-google-dri...), which saves pages in mht format to google drive.

You sound more like an advertisement than a genuine comment.

Opera tried that in 2009: http://help.opera.com/Windows/12.10/en/unite.html

Also, there is zeronet these days. https://zeronet.io/ How are you differentiating yourself?

You can drop to sql if you find yourself fighting against ActiveRecord. It is simple as ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute(sql) where you will end up working with arrays and hashes.

It's not hard to see all new accounts as HN mark them as green, no need to check. I think it is a bad idea trying to boost your submission artificially. It would be great if I can try it immediately, but I don't care enough about the product to go over email. Good luck with your endeavour.

[lol] trying hard with created-1-day-ago-accounts, eh? you should try again with a working demo.

Comparison between old and business model? Was it worth it to rewrite?

A list of well-known IPs? The pool is not that large.

Are there any low-hanging fruits for contribution? Any pointers for starters?

How do you access the latest crawling results programmatically? I hope you are not expecting me to click results link for a developer's tool.

"By using only your current WiFi router that's surely impossible."

umm, what? I haven't seen a router for a long time that doesn't have that feature.
