    Until this demo the most impressive conversational experiences I've seen were Pi and Livekit's Kitt demo ( https://livekit.io/kitt ). I do not think kitt was quite as fast in respo…

    Vercel edge functions are Cloudflare Workers under the hood. I'm pretty sure Supabase is using Deno Deploy/Subhosting. There's a lot of nuance to comparing these two offerings but …

    I immediately recognized this as either inspired from or actually from the same creators of the mercuryos concept https://www.mercuryos.com/ . Turns out it's the latter. I love the…

    This is wild. A blog post breaking down the tech would be awesome. I wonder if you could train another ai on screenshots of great web ui design and have that agent automatically cr…

    This is awesome! I've been looking for exactly this type of solution that gives a more intuitive (yet robust) ui and has node/typescript api (rivets node sdk is even better!). Quic…

    Do you have any plans to opensource this or share more technical implementation details? I've been ideating on this recently but haven't started any implementations yet, would be i…

    Pros: - markets validated - investors may see more options for acquisition exits - if in a crowded space you still see a gap it's likely real Cons: - table stakes to reach parity w…

    This is awesome! I'm working on a project that will heavily utilize FaaS and I've explored many options. Your combination of "secure and configure via workerd" with "autoscale and …

    Link seems to be down just fyi. For various projects in the past I’ve dabbled in generating selectors so I’m curious what you’ve come up with! My more recent interests have been to…

    In the openai blog post they mention "Convert “Who are my top ten customers this month?” to an internal API call" but I'm assuming they mean gpt will respond with structured json (…
