Why does a cooling failure in one datacenter brick the entire ecosystem? Reliability 101 to have redundancy here I'd think...
Completely missing the point of the product lol

Hi loceng, thanks for taking a look.

I've introduced it to a few people who mostly have mentioned features that would make it more usable for them, but haven't received feedback on the copy.

I've added the "why" paragraph to the top of the welcome page per your suggestion. What do you think?

Show HN: SoundSeeker – Organize Your Musical Ideas

https://www.soundseeker.app

Hi HN,I've been programming for about three years, and this is my first full-stack web app. It's a tool for organizing musical ideas. Building and deploying it has been a great learning experience, and in that spirit I'd be grateful for any thoughts or suggestions if you care to take a look. Thank you!source: https://bit.ly/3giqrBUWhy:Composing music is different for everyone, yet some...

Hello Kolya,

Thank you for offering, and congrats on the prototype and early graduation. I'm seeking paid work, in addition to or in place of whatever equity you can offer – if you think that's an option with your project I'd be glad to talk more.

My email is jacobshandling{at}icloud{dot}com, feel free to reach out.

I set out building my first full-stack webapp [0] to make a custom theme-based tagging/organizational system for musical ideas. I did not initially realize all the hairy design choices inherent in this domain, but have found it humbling and educational.

Remaining features to be implemented include in-app audio recording, editing, and custom labeling outside of the main tree structured organizational system.

I'd appreciate any thoughts or suggestions if anyone cares to take a look!
