    skiplists form the basis of in-memory tables used by LSM trees, which are themselves the basis of most modern DBs (written post 2005).

    Talking about dark modes, nytimes still doesn't have an official dark mode (or not I can easily see). This should help.

    Most buy vs rent calculators compare your mortgage payment to rent, factor in appreciation, and call it a day. But they ignore what happens to your downpayment if you don't buy—tha…

    Wouldn't a Vitess for Postgres look like a Yugabyte?

    This would be a bigger problem in community use cases. We're going to introduce a trust level system to tackle this, inspired by Discourse: https://blog.discourse.org/2018/06/under…

    Thank you! We went through many iterations to get to this pricing model. So, I appreciate this comment.

    OpenAI has strict privacy rules in place. Being on a business account, any of the data that we send to OpenAI wouldn't be used for training. It's a SaaS. Over the next few months, …

    https://struct.ai/struct-for-slack would allow individuals to use Struct as an interface to Slack, without the whole team having to switch in one go.

    Perhaps a good start would be to create a Struct org, for communicating within the team? We'd surely look into Teams integration at some point. Though, I'm not sure how many takers…

    Fair point. We can all do with less meetings. I think tools like chat platforms / loom are all aimed at reducing the number of meetings we need to do. Though, you do have to abide …

    Could be a feature request to integrate with Matrix APIs. For example, we're doing bidirectional sync with Slack already. And unidirectional sync with Discord.

    We'll be sure to go through all those details, as we work towards compliances.

    Really wanted the .com domain, but that wasn't available. We got the .co domain, but .ai domain felt more right, given we're using AI, and now it's even part of the pricing model. …

    It's built on Tauri, so it picks the system default browser I think. We had applied for getting an EV certificate for the Win desktop app, but it's taking time to get that process …

    The reason Slack and Teams feels so "urgent", is because there's little going back to reply to an older conversation. Everything is so ephemeral on these platforms, that either you…

    You can install the Struct bot in Slack: https://struct.ai/install-slack -- This would by default pick up the last 3 months of conversations (we do this to decrease the unpaid load…

    Real-time platforms cause interruptions, yes. But, that's where we are today with Slack. So, we're starting off from that point. Let's take real-time chat platforms, and reimagine …

    It's hard to do summaries for chats in channels. Just not enough focus in them to be useful. Could also be the model that they were using. I've tried a few and found GPT4 to be mos…

    Struct is quite inspired by Discourse. It's a unique blend of forum and chat application. So, you know, every forum, including email, has threads and feed. But, forums are asynchro…

    Arr.. we should clean up the error messaging a bit. Not to hide OpenAI, but just make it appear nicer. I like OpenAI. GPT4 works really well. Some others we tried were cheaper, but…

    Absolutely! We already have one chat message fork working. Backend supports multiple message forks as well. So, very close.

    Comment #39559587

    Yup. That's the point I'm making. Slack is used as ephemeral messaging system, a knowledge void. Struct aims to proves that more is possible.

    Yes. We'd be documenting Struct APIs. And also we want to identify the top 5-7 most popular Slack integrations, and build them ourselves for Struct.
