Without massive government intervention it probably would have

This isn't any different than paying more for a better lawyer with a lighter caseload instead of using a public defender

It looks like a mix between zig and rust I would say

99% will be solved by AI with your proactivaly and smart prompt or questions in current work, so the thinking and prompting process is key.

I am still a junior but this seems like you are interviewing the AI rather than the candidate. Also why bother with a technical interview if you expect AI to do their job?

Most software is not price elastic so Jevon's Paradox will not matter

I haven't had any issues with this getting out of hand on >10KLOC vibed rust codebases.

This rewrite is >750k lines of Rust

Well written readme was definitely easier to read than most AI generated docs nowadays

Can you send the GitHub link again?

And how does this handle rendering larger documents?

Is there some benefit from forking vscode instead of creating an extension?

Self hosting would cost more money than free tier for most companies.

more than 90% of companies use PostHog for free.

What's your sales strategy? Is cold calling companies with google analytics installed on their websites more effective than the blog? Have you been able to retain Next.js users after Vercel released Web Analytics?

Not sure, but I'm definitely interested in following your business and seeing what your strategy will become because I was building something similar but when larger teams starting releasing free solutions I couldn't think of a way to compete. Best of luck.

It also tracks page views, referrers, geographic location, and other analytics common to rybbit

"Self hosting is not really advertised on their main site"

How would rybbit.io make money if they are only better at self hosting? Wouldn't the users they are targeting only self host anyways?

"On "Ahrefs", is there even an open source version of their product? I couldn’t easily find it (on mobile)."

Not all of these companies are open source but they are still competitors because they have generous free tiers so the cost of self hosting an alternative wouldn't be justified.

PostHog and Plausible are both open source and not backed by big corporations but if sharing data to third parties and being open source is a concern (which seems to be the selling point rybbit.io is targeting) I would expect users to self host instead of paying for a hosted plan anyways?

The market for Google Analytics alternatives is crowded. There's Plausible, Ahrefs web analytics, onedollarstats.com, PostHog, Matomo, Unami, Grafana, Microsoft Clarity (free at any scale), and so many others. Despite minor differences these products all compete for the same users (e.g. if someone is a PostHog customer they probably won't be using Ahref web analytics) yet most of these companies offer generous free tiers while rybbit only a free trial.

How do products like rybbit.io stay competitive without a similar free tier or major differentiation? Is rybbit generating revenue for its hosted plan?

EDIT: It actually says in the readme they plan to support StableLM which is interesting because at least at the moment that's not a well performing model

I chose StableLM because that's the only other model I knew of besides ChatGPT. I'm open to adding support for other models after I fix some bugs first.
