One piece of feedback: the landing page looks really nice and features a picture of a workflow with web scraping, which is something I’m actually looking for. But then I go to the templates and search web scraper and nothing comes up. Am I doing something wrong or looking for the wrong term?

Can confirm. Had a good experience using Terraform Cloud on personal projects. Tried to bring it to my Big Co team but leadership / accounting couldn't get over the sticker shock from their resource based pricing.

Azure DevOps does a good enough job for us.

Huntsville, AL, & Chattanooga, TN both have tech communities. Huntsville has NASA's MSFC and Redstone arsenal, so there's a ton of tech talent from all over the country there. Companies like Boeing, Blue Origin, Lockheed all have a presence. They're now starting to see non government / defense tech companies spring up, Like CommentSold. Gener8tor is launching a new accelerator program there.

There’s a huge opening in the market between slack and discord for community conversation and organization. My startup is working on this right now with a web3 implementation.

This is what scares me about electric cars. This type of design seems more likely to mean disposable cars. This is the automotive equivalent of a glued in non serviceable battery in a phone.

From an environmental standpoint this seems like a step backwards. It can be cost effective to replace entire damaged engines and transmissions even in older vehicles. People are keeping cars for longer, currently the average is over 8 years.

In the Stackblitz example the Angular client is connecting directly to the SapphireDB database with credentials stored in the app.module.ts.

Could you build a scalable real world, production application this way?

With no in the middle NodeJS web server handing business logic? Handle all the business logic in the Angular client and just CRUD the objects back to SapphireDB? Essentially just Client--> SapphireDB

Or am I missing something here? I see there's a asp.net configuration, which would be Client--> Server--> SapphireDB

Is there a package or support for connecting a NodeJS server to SapphireDB database?

Also, is this production ready?

These are good points. I've worked in this space and it's a huge time sink. And you can't afford to get it wrong because you're dealing with people's livelihood.

I'm currently working on a time attendance solution with an emphasis on usability for non technical users. You'd be amazed at how much paper / friction still exists in this domain.
