Love the call demo, fun way to show the product. What are some interesting products users have built with this that they've shared with you?

I'm working on a tool to convert any OpenAPI JSON spec to an MCP server, so LLMs can interact with it. If anyone's interested in this, email in my bio. I'll also put it on my Github soon, once I polish up the code.

Hey, I don't see any roles that align with my experience but I think I have something to offer. Is there any mail I can reach out to?

I'm a grad student at the University of Pennsylvania, and my concentration has been on distributed systems. I have experience working full-stack, with prior experience with Java, Ruby on Rails, Py, and Rust. For the frontend I've worked with Angular and React. Interested in SDE roles, especially in large-scale distributed environments or where efficiency is of importance.

This is amazing, kudos on all the great work on this project! This definitely seems like an interesting place to look for ideas and learn!
Nothing different if I'm being honest, I'm just looking to learn and was having some starting issues so I was looking for guidance on that. Realistically speaking, if I can build out a storage engine and execution planner that isn't terrible, I'll call it a success as I would've learnt what I'm looking for
This is perfect, I should've known this would be a fairly discussed topic here. Thanks!
This looks great, but 90% of the actual content is behind a $40 subscription though. Maybe an option if I don't find anything else, thank you!

Ash HN: What are some good resources on building a relational database?

I was hoping to build a simple relational database as a side project, focussing mainly on learning how the internals and the algorithms used work, as I never plan to make this a published product of any sort.So far I have the CMU Advanced DB course (https://15721.courses.cs.cmu.edu/spring2024/) and the Database Internals book.While I'm learning a lot about how databases work, I have no clue how...

Re:Why isn't webapp preferred over native app? on Thursday April 01, 2021 @10:53PM (#26668630)
I wouldn't say web apps are always preferred over a native app. When people are prototyping, I see a lot of people building web apps to get the idea out. However, as you grow, a native app might be favourable if you can have one cause in my experience they perform better, especially in the background. You don't have to worry about what browser they're using and if it supports the things you need, as long as the OS supports it and you can do more stuff in the background like local notifications which web apps can't
