This reminds me of Cloudflare's focus on the innovator's solution and how they justified competing against giants like AWS and Google. They created a new market focused on startup …

Before, I ate low sugar / carb and high on cheese, meat, whole milk, yogurt, and veggies (close to keto). Now I eat a lot of rice, beans, while grains, and veggies. I’m trying to f…

I do have a fear that staying vegan will have other negative effects, unrelated to cholesterol - esp brain and bone density related. For me that means cutting out cheese, milk, and…

High cholesterol and heart attacks are common in my family. This year, after my dad had intensive open heart surgery, my doctor recommended trying a strict plant-based diet for 90 …

The best way to get started is to use a trusted design system on the frontend, and follow their components, layouts, and color scheme exactly. Once you know the rules and have some…

It’s a grind to run this kind of business. You’re sometimes dealing with life and death situations (you’re liable for someone’s electricity or heating 24/7). Talent is really hard …

My dad bought a failing HVAC business 30+ years ago, then made it profitable over the years and sold it back to his employees last year. He had the option to take a few highly lucr…

It’s not simply more hours in, more money out. It’s the desire to work hard that matters. This is the difference between junior investment bankers and engineers. Both have to work …

Thank you for trying to take on this problem, it’s really bad though. I did a PH launch this summer resulting in a few hundred unique website views. Comments besides people I alrea…

Got it. We can store logs to your purpose-built analytics DB of choice. PostgreSQL (Neon) is our free self-serve offering because it’s easy to spin up quickly.

It's a standalone DB, just for LLM logging. Since it's your DB - you can configure data retention, and migrate data to an analytics DB / warehouse if cost or latency becomes a conc…

We can support any database you need, PostgreSQL is the easiest way to get started.

I’m a product designer, so we tend to approach everything from first principles. Our aim is to keep as much complexity in code as possible, and only surface UI when it solves a pro…

We already support OpenAI and Anthropic endpoints, and can add models/endpoints quickly based on your requirements. We plan to expand to Llama and other self-hosted models soon. Do…

We could support any API. We’re focused on building data pipelines and tooling for LLM use cases.

Right now, it’s a managed service that we set up for you (we’re still a small team). Email me if you’re interested and I can share details - emma@usevelvet.com.

Velvet takes We warehouse logs directly to your DB, so you can do whatever you want with the data. Build company ops on top of the DB, run your own evals, join with other tables, h…

Might be a Cloudflare flag. Can you email me your IP address and we'll look into it? emma@usevelvet.com.

Thanks! You can layer on as much detail as you need by including meta tags in the header, which is useful for tracing RAG and agent pipelines. But would love to understand your par…

Depends on the scenario. In a threaded query, or multiple queries from the same user - you’d want different outputs. If 20 different users are looking for the same result - a cache…

Thanks for the detail! This is a use case we plan to support, and it will be configurable (for when you don’t want it). Some of our customers run into this when different users ask…

There were plenty of UI-based low code platforms. But they required that we adopt new abstractions, use their UI, and log into 5 different tools (logging, observability, analytics,…

The self-serve version is hosted (it’s easy to try locally), but we offer managed deployments where you bring your own DB. In this case your data is 100% yours, in your PostgreSQL.…

Hey HN! We’re Emma and Chris, founders of Velvet ( https://www.usevelvet.com ). Velvet proxies OpenAI calls and stores the requests and responses in your PostgreSQL database. That …
