Re:The Magic of Small Databases on Saturday January 28, 2023 @05:28PM (#34562677)
Having a small database is especially useful when collaborating on data strategy. I have seen some database diagrams with 1000s of tables and it is hard to make sense of it using ERD tools.

Even with advanced views offered by tools like ERDLab.io it is a pain in the ass to collaborate on large schemas at various stages of development.

Cool! Very different from traditional ERD tools.

Still missing a lot of features and not as snappy/clean when moving tables around I can see lot of lag.

Have you tried erdlab.org? It's free and has some key features missing in your tool. For example, import/export SQL and advanced visual features. Quick one min video of ERDLab https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VaBRPAtX08&t=3s or you can login as guest at erdlab.org and try it yourself.

Very cool!

Not sure if you use a diagram tool to visualize your databases but I built ERD Lab specially for developers and would love to get your feedback.

If you are on desktop/laptop you can login as guest. No registration required.

What do you think about creating diagrams using the simple markup language in my tool?

It's always a good time to ask. Worse they can say is no.

Any employer who retaliates is not worth working for anyway!

Select your target specialization and location. Then submit your resume to the selected recruiting firms.

Little buggy sometimes but does the job perfectly.

Re:Ask HN: Would you trust car insurance trackers? on Monday January 23, 2023 @03:53PM (#34494881)
WTF do they need access to my heart rate and fitness levels? Do you think I am being irrational?

Ask HN: Would you trust car insurance trackers?

So my Geico (save your 15 minutes) rate went up significantly for no reason. If I use their tracking app "Drive Easy" they are offering 20% discount (pretty significant). I thought why not?It ALWAYS wants to see my location It wants access to my health and fitness dataI obviously can't justify the discount by giving up my privacy. My wife says I am paranoid and she doesn't see anything wrong. I...

Sorry!

What I meant to say was that... everyone wants decentralization but few are willing to take the responsibility if/when something goes wrong because of their own fault.

I wish I had more time right now to contribute to this discussion but regardless of what arguments I present, this debate cannot be solved. It's like a debate on pros/cons of social security. I trust myself to handle my retirement and I wish I could opt out of SS contributions. But no...

Decentralization is over hyped. People think they want decentralized but they really don't.

Basically a catchall criminal offense. Most of these statues are used as punishment enhancement (to increase jail time) but these laws help the long arms of law catch "smart" white collar criminals who think they can cover all their tracks.
Would love some feedback from HN community. Any thoughts?

Currently supports: MySQL, MS SQL, SQLite, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SnowFlake and more soon.

One important thing that sets ERDLab apart from other tools is that ERDLab allows you to draw your diagram two ways. Developers often prefer typing so we made a simple code editor which allows you to create your diagrams fast using your keyboard only.

If you prefer no-code solution, you can simply hide/toggle the "Markup" sidebar and you can create your schema without writing a single line of code. This makes ERDLab useful not only for developers but everyone else on the team like analysts, admins and even non-technical stakeholders.

Re:Going Full Time on My SaaS After 13 Years on Wednesday January 04, 2023 @12:13PM (#34248340)
Congratulations Matt. Would love to learn more about the lessons/tips you learned in the past 8 years.

Is your primary reason to go full-time based on reaching a financial target or is it because you have more ideas for future now?

Change the domain to use for email marketing only. Redirect it to main website. Just use it to send/sign mail.
It would be interesting to run tests with this data on alcoholics. Most binge drinkers damage their bodies mostly due to dehydration. Could also explain how some get away with minimal damage to health
Web profilers definitely could use some disruption. Congratulations on the release. I am going to forward this to a friend who is actively hiring.

Always have something of your own to work on in addition to your full-time job. This advice from an old timer changed my life!

Working on a database modeling tool for past year and half. Planning to do a public launch later this week. Fingers crossed!
