How is this different than Dropbox Dash (formerly known as Command-E)? What I love about Dash is that no metadata/index leaves my computer - are you taking the same approach?

Firebase (or maybe Supabase) - because I love a "backend-less" stack. It just take less effort (no need to write lambdas). Full solution out of the box (DB, auth, storage). If I ever reach the limit of this stack, I probably have insane PMF, so I'll deal with it then (YAGNI).

This is another cool way of doing it /w Elixir + Lit https://launchscout.com/blog/embedded-web-apps-with-livestat...

One thing to know if you’re using this Postgres feature is that the max payload is 8000 bytes [1]

That was the initial implementation for supabase’s real-time updates (afaik) and for this reason they had to resort to read the WAL.

Logitech Lift mouse ($57.47 shipped). Tossed the highly non-ergonomic Magic Mouse that was starting to give me hand/wrist pain. Having also used the MX Master 3 before, I even prefer the (cheaper) Lift. 200% recommend.

Thank you! I've been following your Twitter feed for a while and having all this in a single ebook is amazing.

This is team of 2 engineers that's building + shipping faster than most teams I've seen while having insane number DAUs. Moving fast (and patching problems even faster) is the name of the game here and these guys delivered.

We try to mostly follow the Shape Up methodology, ie shrinking scope and ship ”some version of the feature” that can fit the time budget.

The worst: 3-5minute credits that you can’t skip at the end of each episode. Guess how great this is for a toddler :)

Anything less than all of it is a red flag.

RIP Jeff :(

tl;dr -- should have gone with shopify

[untitled] | Senior Software Engineer | Remote (US timezones) | Full-time

[untitled] (https://untitledinbrackets.com) is the Figma for music. We’re building the simplest and most delightful way for artists to listen, share, and nurture their works-in-progress (WIPs).

Our current product has been in a private beta with some very influential people in music, who have embraced [untitled] deeply in their creative process. And we’re excited to scale the product to many more. That’s where you come in :)

We’re looking for senior engineers to join our tight-knit team who will help us take our product to the next level (we have no shortage of feature requests from our early adopters, as well our own ambitious roadmap).

Our current product lineup consists of (a) an iOS app (built on React Native /w custom native components for audio playback + recording), (b) a web app (built on React), and (c) a desktop app (built on Electron). We’re also huge fans of TypeScript and serverless (we’re exclusively on Firebase).

We are proud to be backed by some of the best investors out there, including General Catalyst, Shine Capital, Not Boring Capital, as well as some influential angels in the space.

This opportunity doesn’t only include the chance to define how music is made over the next century. It also comes with world-class benefits such as a competitive salary, health insurance, best in class laptop, access to the most popular music events, opportunities to meet your favorite artists, and more to be defined as we grow.

Sounds like a fit? Send us an email at jobs@untitledinbrackets.com. We ask for a resume but we welcome you to send us anything, please get creative here.

Elixir and TS fan here: curious, what would be the use for this, aside of what looks like a very interesting project? The main strength of LV is that is sits on top of the BEAM and OTP which makes it very suitable to scale predictably. Other frameworks have tried to do that (Hotwire or something for Rails iirc), but they lack the benefits of the BEAM. Epic job though!

I've switched to Apple Maps and it's been an improvement. Much better UI on CarPlay (subjective, but I find it to be easier to quickly read/decipher while driving). Still missing the "Yelp" part of Google Maps, there's not as much of a community there.

I clicked on this waiting to see (interesting) Doom gameplay loops. I was greatly disappointed.

There are very rare moments in history when we see a new product that leads to a paradigm shift in how people create. We saw it with the invention of the tube paint. We saw it with the invention of the camera. And you could say that we've recently seen it with Google Drive for the workplace, Figma for design, and Github for software development.

Yet in music, we haven’t seen a tectonic shift in how ideas are drafted and created since the introduction of digital multi-track recording in the 1980s. [untitled] is creating that next moment in history. We’re building the simplest and most delightful way for artists to listen, share, and nurture their works-in-progress (WIPs). To put simply, we’re the Figma for music.

We’re looking for generalist engineers with strong CS fundamentals to join our tight-knit team. Our tech stack is React Native (mobile), Electron (desktop), and React (web), all mostly using TypeScript. Our backend is all serverless (Firebase). The ideal candidate has built and shipped products using something similar to our stack and loves music as much as we do.

Our team is made up of product-minded artists and seasoned technologists, who all share the same passion for well-crafted software and music. We’re well-funded by pioneering investors at General Catalyst and we’re working with some of the most cutting-edge artists on the planet.

Interested? Shoot me (I’m Alex the CTO) an email at alex@untitledinbrackets.com; I’d love to chat and tell you more.

This is pretty interesting. A while back I was in the early engineering team that built something with similar characteristics (Maginatics > sold to EMC/Dell). It was a cloud (S3, others) distributed file system with variable-length chunks, per-chunk encrypted, with strong deduplication and focus on metadata operation optimization. We were primary storage (vs backup), making it a lot more challenging (performance, app compatibility, real-time collaboration, etc). The demo is pretty interesting, definitely need to read the whitepaper.

This is some serious Jim Halpert stuff right here. Tip of the hat to you, guy.

+100 to all of this

Follow-up question: having built a mobile app backend on Phoenix (with Channels) and having played a bit with Absinthe and LiveView -- is there a future of Phoenix that's focused not only on web but also mobile?
