That is useful to know, thank you. Alas I envisage this being across many machines. (I'll edit the previous post for brevity)

Replacing Kong with Deno is a great step (and by simplifying the stack, in line with the elegance I love Supabase for). - My request with Supabase Logs is that they're easy to form…

I'm not the OP, but I do have a request here too. Disclaimer: I haven't built this yet (primarily because it's too hard today). I want to build self-hostable servers, to give our c…

Thanks Paul, Oso looks great. Re: RLS: Pros - The simplicity+security is hard to beat - Supabase is built around it. I really want the purity of just one platform. Cons (in order) …

I can't advocate Supabase enough. Their combo of openness and elegance in their platform leaves me (a developer/entrepreneur) feeling secure. This is perhaps a future topic, but to…

My Gmail plugin is coming from the same pain (I subscribed to a ton of great newsletters, but they clutter everything human): https://www.getbreef.com . It's just my side project, …

Turning Gmail into an infinite scroll like Twitter/Instagram. And grouping newsletters into topics to feel more like a RSS reader - https://www.getbreef.com I start 99% of my email…

We make an downloadable product [1] that over its lifetime has been sold as donationware, freemium and trial-based -- three of the main variants that shareware evolved into. Short …

If house prices cross a threshold where first time buyers can't afford to get onto the property ladder, they're forced to rent - driving up competition for stock & thus rental pric…

As I understand, from one of the early Gmail product managers, element class names are the most stable of all the 'fingerprints'. The Javascript data structures are quite stable, a…

I got the impression from a single conversation I had with Google back in January (please take this as the single data point it is), that they really did re-route the entire organi…

This space of "handle tasks in email" is starting to explode since pg called it as a giant opportunity. Indeed, I believe Mail Pilot are launching their public beta soon - the timi…

Hi pdx, That's a very sensible question, let me take a stab at answering it. So, for 99% of things, it's all stored on Google's servers. ActiveInbox is a lot of UI enhancements to …

I believe the fun-factor - or lack thereof :) - might have something to do with the fact that Monopoly's origins are supposedly as a warning of the perils of capitalism. While the …

I'm not convinced most bloggers start blogging with the assumption they'll do it for nothing :) They think fame and riches! Or at least having the intellectual satisfaction of best…

It's notable that they expect to "lose 90%" of those subscribers when they end the current "£1 for a month" introductory offer, which is being pushed by a huge celebrity-endorsed a…

That said, one huge area of interest would be to (re)specialize in "user experience measuring" to drive product iterations (similar to the hugely successful Sean Ellis). All startu…

To answer the title directly, found a company :) With a background in CS you have the functional hacker skills needed to create a first version of something, but you say your energ…

(Caveat: As a hacker with an interest/need to learn marketing) 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing - just the best overview for how to get out there (in the words of Steve Jobs, "it's a…

Exactly, so today's email client broadly serves two functions: 1) to manage emails (which is to say, manage the flow of tasks that emails represent), 2) be a knowledge base. Refere…

A good spot, thank you - will get it fixed up tomorrow.

The extra inbox processing buttons are part of Plus (it's a forerunner to the 'create your own shortcut buttons' that we're working on). If you're wondering, the background to that…

A very very good idea. I've been holding off slightly because - well, partly stage nerves ;) - but because it's hard to get it professional. You are right though, I will put _somet…

GTD is Getting Things Done, a really popular productivity method ("the art of stress free productivity"). It's our niche to start out with, while we are still small (I'm the only f…

I've long since admired Mailplane and it would be great to do something with Ruben - I didn't realize that he was open to collaboration. Will get in touch. And if you have any thou…
