TL;DR: Picking an embedding model is tedious (ad‑hoc scripts, switching SDKs, messy notebooks). I wanted a consistent, repeatable workflow to A/B models on my own data and sanity‑c…

That's very cool :-)

This looks awesome! Thanks for making it open source. We are currently using SQLite heavily in our stack and DuckDB has been on my list of things to explore for a while. What's bee…

The ecosystem support is improving, and still needs help. I think we can drive both in parallel so that the framework feeds use cases to the ecosystem which then lead to more compl…

These are reasonable concerns. Having seen the development of Flutter and its ecosystem over the past 7 years, I've come to really believe in the framework and its mission. There h…

Flutter is currently required for the parent app, but I'll be lifting that requirement very soon. Stay tuned!

Ah, gotcha! The choice to use Flutter Web in the demo was just for presentational effect. Celest is built to work with all of the Flutter platforms equally.

Right now, we're using Docusaurus, which has been working well: https://github.com/celest-dev/website Though, Flutter Web has come a long ways recently, especially with the WASM wo…

Nice! Glad to hear it :-)

> It could be part of the service contract. Agreed. I'll look into how we can add that.

Cheers!

> How do you handle versioning? Are there any guidelines/rules one must abide by? Versioning is not fully fleshed out yet, but we have an open issue for it here: https://github.com…

Great points. My immediate plan for reducing lock-in is to provide the option to deploy into a cloud account you manage. This has the upside of making your deployed infrastructure …

Glad to hear you ran a successful deploy! Currently we just have the CLI to manage your account, although I'm working on a web-based dashboard for better accessibility. The result …

Per project, per month, yes. Felt like a mouthful to write, but I'll make that more clear. Celest's biggest strength with cloud functions is its integration with the Dart language.…

Thanks! I started working on it in November, but most of the effort has been over the past three months.

Interesting! I don't know much about using Closure and Dart together. Any projects you could point me to? Sounds like a cool use case.

Yes, I definitely want to at some point. In the short term, I've implemented a `celest upgrade` method in the CLI, so it's just a one-time manual install.

Yes, absolutely. The main differences are 1. Celest is fully managed and does not require any knowledge of the cloud. With Serverpod, you must have a cloud account and manage your …

Much appreciated!
