Just use PNPM

Hello HN:

I’m posting today to introduce Groovestack: PostgreSQL, Ruby on Rails, GraphQL and React-admin for fullstack application development (especially back-office platforms and dashboard applications).

Our team has been leveraging this stack successfully for multiple projects and have found this combination to be robust, feature-rich, scalable and cost-effective. It’s an opinionated, fullstack framework that eschews the ‘bring-any-database’ and ‘bring-any-API’ Rails philosophy for specific choices that are an ideal fit for many applications.

We’ve used this stack to build a variety of back-office and end-user applications. We’ve found development accelerates as common patterns become recognized by the team - easing integration and generating more code reuse. Groovestack allows for leaner modules by reducing requirements to a smaller set of configurations.

We are posting here to find teams that are already using this stack and those that are interested in how it might benefit their projects.

By giving this stack a name, we hope to make it easier to aggregate the community and accelerate the development of new Groovestack-compatible modules. #groovestack

We’ve put together an introduction that describes the rationale for choosing these components as well as some new community resources that we are organizing.

To demonstrate how these pieces fit together, we’ve launched a Groovestack Demo that incorporates our CORE Jobs module which provides a full API and administrative UI for background jobs in Rails. There is a link to the demo from the Groovestack page.

Any and all comments welcome.

The Tragedy of Google Analytics…

Just use ruby for advanced config file capabilities:

You can switch to esbuild now or you can switch later, but you will switch. It is superior in design, configuration and performance by orders of magnitude.

Looking to try this out shortly. Hopeful: https://github.com/ParamagicDev/snowpacker

Good data point. However, this suggests that the barriers between oral infection -> vascular infection -> brain infection are somewhat effective.

Every company doing hard tech should be considering federal funding for early stage R&D. The US gov't has been consistently providing more early stage capital than VC for several decades through the SBIR program. (About $2.5B each year). Capital through the program is NON-DILUTIVE, Phase 1 grants can be $225K, Phase 2 grants to $1.5MM, and you likely have government and private sector customers at the end of Phase 2.

Steve Blank's Innovation Corp initiative is now working with the NIH, NSF and Defense to help companies development product-market-fit once basic funding has been achieved as well.

Disclaimer: My company GrantIQ.com helps companies find federal funding opportunities & helps large companies identify breakthrough technologies being developed through these programs.

OpenTok -> TokBox -> $50/month. Really? https://tokbox.com/pricing

Reminder to self: If a telcom company is involved, a customer pricing bait-and-switch is never very far away.

Expounding a bit further, the pricing they are proposing measures usage in 'millions of messages'. Nothing like an arbitrary large metric to confuse consumers about their actual potential usage. How many 'signalling messages' did you use last month fellow consumer?

Sam Altman has recently expressed interest in seeing more 'high-tech' submissions to YC http://blog.samaltman.com/new-rfs-breakthrough-technologies. I agree that defining 'high-tech' vs 'tech' is a bit ambiguous and fraught with potential disagreement, however for the purposes here, we are talking about companies that engage in some type of basic R&D in pursuit of the core product development.

'Science' is a grouping used to categorize funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) - cross-functional, but a good enough bucket for the purposes of the key used.
