Some of these trends are just stupid (I'm so glad the 'made with love' shit has died down)
Did it though? I still add a "Built with heart" badge to the README of every new project. /s
It wasn't really intentional, and I actually didn't even know where or when this originated. It just sounded "right" (non native English speaker here). There are several two reasons why this felt right:
* Tuning Postgres well is hard. Not everybody, not every "human" can easily do it.
* There are several efforts (mostly from Academia) to have non humans (A.I.) tune databases automatically (e.g. Andy Pavlo's efforts).
> why link to a blog post rather than the actual site?
Because the blog post contains an explanation of what the web site is, how you can use it and provide much more context than the direct parameters page.
About the new functionality, it is something in the works and early disclosure is good for potential feedback. And yes, the screenshot is what you can get today, so feel free to enjoy it!
Disclaimer: I work @OnGres.
Some people like to keep it simple, others like to geek out on esoteric settings and full configurability. Personally I like when a software is upfront about who it's for, instead of pretending to cater to everyone's taste.
Even Windows comes in several flavors because one size doesn't fit all.
This answers that question. I've discovered many local startups by just browsing the web than I would have otherwise.
But still, back on point, how does this "Made with love in <X>" bring people together as you claim previously?
Now, on topic: why link to a blog post rather than the actual site? https://postgresqlco.nf/en/doc/param/
Maybe the blog post is linked because you want to highlight the not-yet-released configurator?
> Right now we are working hard on a fully featured application service where you can have a graphical configuration interface (or UI) with Drag & Drop of your postgresql.conf files with automatic validation, and a REST API where you can store and share your custom postgresql.conf configuration files. You will also be able to download your configurations in several formats, like the native postgresql.conf, YAML or JSON.
Sounds great but <s>all we get for now is a screenshot</s> (sorry, the screenshot is for a new feature available now) so it's kind of a bummer...
