vinner_roy··on Electric (Postgres sync engine) beta release
Another one I have to play with. Thanks for sharing.
vinner_roy··on Electric (Postgres sync engine) beta release
I've heard about this one as well. I'm not sure why it seems to have less "hype" than Zero or ElectricSQL. I'm going to play with it this weekend. Thanks for sharing.
vinner_roy··on Electric (Postgres sync engine) beta release
Oh this is very cool as well. Thank you for sharing. I hadn't heard of LiveStore.
vinner_roy··on Electric (Postgres sync engine) beta release
Sorry should have mentioned that I need PGlite or SQLite support. I am very much looking forward to PGlite on Expo/RN!
vinner_roy··on Electric (Postgres sync engine) beta release
Eagerly awaiting the React Native compatible version. https://zerosync.dev/ is the main alternative I'm considering.
vinner_roy··on Why so few Matt Levines?
- Lenny Rachitsky: startup product and growth - Alex Xu: software/software system design
vinner_roy··on More Americans are searching online about moving to Canada. But will they?
Can I swap place with one of them?
vinner_roy··on How Figma's databases team lived to tell the scale
Haha alright I get the picture. Too expensive.

Could you use Aurora Limitless for this instead? https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2023/11/amazon-au...
vinner_roy··on The only acceptable rating to leave an Uber driver is 5 stars
I agree with this, although I wouldn't bother with the rationale. It's either you had an overall good experience or an overall bad experience. I'd add a third option called "favorite" or "star" which you could you only give out to 10 drivers/restaurants/places at a time to highlight really exceptional experiences.
vinner_roy··on Ask HN: Is there a webapp to input/store your blood test results?
This looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing! Great demo here: https://demo.picnichealth.com/records
vinner_roy··on Ask HN: Is there a webapp to input/store your blood test results?
I don't think it has been done yet due to the difficulty in syncing the data in there (manual entry sucks). I think companies like Forward (https://goforward.com/) offer this to their patients via their app.
vinner_roy··on Ask HN: What is the most pleasant, uncomplicated full stack to start with?
Elixir, Phoenix and Liveview
vinner_roy··on Ask HN: What are you working on this year?
I'm still working on https://pagespace.app/. The vision is Github but for books with built in subscription and sale incentives for an author to continuously update a book to make it a lifelong project.

The other idea I want to work on is longevity as a service, helping folks track health metrics that have been reliably shown to affect life expectancy. Things like hormones, cholesterol (apoB, lp(A)), inflammation...

vinner_roy··on How James Clear is writing his next book (2021)
Working on this over at pagespace.app, looking for cofounders if anyone is interested! Notion-like writing experience is the goal with the ability to sell via subscription or per unit.
vinner_roy··on I'm Publishing My Next Book on Substack
I'm surprised no one has built a better publishing platform for books/multi-page content. Almanac's editor (based on Prosemirror) is top notch (https://almanac.io/), but it's a different target market. I'm trying to build a similar editor for the publishing space along these lines at pagespace.app.
vinner_roy··on Ask HN: Who Wants to Collaborate or a Cofounder?
I'm building pagespace.app, a platform to create, publish and sell longer form HTML-based content. The vision is a cross between Substack and Github for longer form content. I mention Github because much like code, good content should have lots of commits, releases, issues and PRs -- in other words it should get better over time

Tech stack is Elixir, Vue 3, Prosemirror/TipTap on Kubernetes.

Looking for cofounders/partners. Offering equal ownership.

vinner_roy··on Ask HN: What's the best platform for technical writing in 2022?
I'm building pagespace.app to address this need for myself as I was also looking for a place to share knowledge that spans multiple pages (with the option of selling via subscriptions or one-off purchases). Would love to hear what I can do to make the platform attractive for this use-case!
vinner_roy··on Ask HN: Who wants to collaborate? (April 2022)
Happy to chat! Send me a message on Twitter or via email (email now in bio) and we'll set something up.

vinner_roy··on Ask HN: What is something exciting you're working on?
I'm building pagespace.app, a platform to create, publish and sell longer form rich content. The vision is a cross between Substack and Github.

I mention Github because much like code, good content and knowledge should change and improve over time and have lots of commits and pull requests.

I mention Substack as users can subscribe to authors (they can also buy individual books).

vinner_roy··on Ask HN: Do you have to use LinkedIn to get hired?
I've gotten a dozen interviews recently without a LinkedIn.
vinner_roy··on Ask HN: Who wants to collaborate?
Hard to say, but for those that did express interest the stack was indeed a bit of a blocker.
vinner_roy··on Ask HN: Who wants to collaborate?
I'm working on a platform for writing and publishing web-based/html books (not epub or pdf) over at pagespace.app (invite-only for now). Aiming for a sort of Substack for longer writing with one-time purchase and subscription options.

Always looking for collaborators if anyone is interested in the space. The stack is Elixir + Vue 3 + ProseMirror/TipTap + Stripe on Kubernetes for the moment. Authors welcome as well.

I've tried the Startup School co-founder matching, but no luck on there yet! https://www.startupschool.org/cofounder-matching
