Another great use case is piping database output (e.g. psql) directly to HTML. HTML tables can be opened in a browser or directly in Excel. So all you need for a complete BI tool i…

You wouldn't just blindly implement what the LLM generates. You would use it more as an efficient way to go through all the necessary docs. From there you'd sanity check the recomm…

Particularly in the AI assisted era, I'm not sure I understand why you wouldn't just roll your own auth. Learn it once, use it everywhere. Best practices are well documented and no…

Shopify "backing it" means less to me than the maintainers themselves. The Remix maintainers are straight shooters and have been maintaining open source consistently for over a dec…

Agreed, minus the Primsa.

They made an announcement that they are merging the projects a little while back: https://remix.run/blog/merging-remix-and-react-router . Obviously things could change, but I think…

My bet is on Remix (which will eventually just be React Router). I think it's just the right amount of abstraction over native web functionality with a nice, simple API that doesn'…

Not yet. But in the analytics case, suppose you could build a tool that collected data on your own infrastructure, allowed you to write plain SQL against a PostgreSQL database to g…

Interesting. I think you're on to something here. I fully agree that a combination of spreadsheets and SQL are the ideal tools for data analysis -- not a SaaS GUI. > Niching down, …

The workflow I'm trending towards is a design system (e.g. Radix UI) for the bulk of the styling, inline styles for most customizations (shouldn't be too many), and then plain CSS …

As others have said, LLMs still require engineers to produce quality output. LLMs do, however, make those engineers that use them much more productive. If this trend continues, I c…

What did your startup do?

Oh, ok, the test and operations case makes sense. As for your questions: 1. It's basic networking tasks such as running a network drop, assigning IPs, making sure the PLCs are on t…

I work for a YC company in the industrial maintenance space and we've been looking at integrating machine data drive and automate certain maintenance workflows. The most difficult …

How did you land that part time gig?

Is there a version of Lemon Squeezy for SaaS companies?

By core SaaS metrics, I mean metrics across product usage (daily active users, clicks), sales and marketing (pipeline, churn), and finance (ARR, LTV, CAC). Do you use individual to…

This is great. I find I'm using Figma in place of other tools more and more. I could see using Figma instead of Word / Google docs pretty soon as well.

This is the way.

One of the frequently raised concerns is that soon we will be drowning in AI generated blog posts, articles, presentations and emails, and most of this AI generated content will be…

What kind of work do you do?

Hi HN! I created useForm because I wanted a simple React form library that leveraged hooks, didn't use a lot of "magic", took care of form tasks such as validation and serializatio…

Phenomenal news. Hope to see more of it across the globe.

Ah, ok. So the "ve" was just a placeholder for the value in the "amount" column for each entry. How does this handle the fact that credits increase the value of some accounts (e.g.…
