Agreed. It is curious how the agent got nudged to add auth in that one. I did another ad-hoc but this time I added "Use guest auth" to the prompt. This way you don't need to enter …

When you're experimenting on ideas, it's really nice when time to hello world is near zero. It's also nice when you aren't limited to a certain number of dbs or your projects get p…

Funny enough we added this in awhile back when it seemed more conclusive that this does matter. But I was curious and just did an adhoc eval. Here's a version with the aesthetic li…

Hey HN! We made GETadb.com, so it's easier to get agents to build you full stack apps. You don't need to give them any credentials. Just by loading a GET request, they get access t…

Always been able to host it! We’ve had docker compose instructions since open sourcing. Instant has evolved quite a bit in the last 18 months. With all the new functionality self-h…

You can use `db.subscribeQuery` on the server to react to react to changes. We plan to add webhooks soon to make this even easier. And yes eventually we'd love to support SDKs in o…

I think Stopa has a great answer here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47711803 You can certainly use Instant without AI! We indexed on making the API easy to understand so pro…

We use LWW on the attribute level which greatly reduces conflicts. There are certainly cases where you'll need a different CRDT but this works great for a lot of use cases. Includi…

We've been around long enough that the LLMs already natively know how to use us! If you give them a little bit of context they can use the platform fully.

PR in progress! https://github.com/instantdb/instant/pull/2495

You can! Everything is open source and we have instructions on running the server with docker. Working on making this even easier for folks https://github.com/instantdb/instant/pul…

Appreciate it! We thought it was a nice touch too and a fun way to highlight the power of Instant! Realizing we didn’t highlight this as a use case — but you can use our ephemeral …

Thank you!

We’re 100% open source and have instructions for getting the server up and running via docker We’re also working on a PR to make it even easier to deploy https://github.com/instant…

Thank you for the deep feedback Moose! Agreed lots of opportunity for simplification. There’s so much context in this space. When talking about why sync we mention optimistic updat…

Thank you! Awesome work with Zero, been a fan of you since listening to your episode on the local first podcast!

Thank you!

Thank you! We last updated our website when open sourced back in August 2024 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41322281 Back then most folks weren't building full-on apps with A…

We think this is an evolution :) Stopa also gave an answer here! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47711866

Not at the moment but something that we've started exploring! Our thinking was to first get the DX/AX + feature set solid with Instant and then let folks bring their own Postgres

You can think of this as the number of devs. So if you're working on an app as a team you all can use the dashboard and CLI tools to manage the app. No limit on number of end users…

Stopa answers this here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47711254 But pairing Instant with Vercel works great too! We have a tutorial on how you can build an app with Instant a…

You can! The skill lives here https://github.com/instantdb/skills

We built Instant to optimize for two things: We wanted to make a tool that (a) would make it easy to build delightful apps, and that (b) builders would find easy to use. This got u…

We do have a skill! npx skills add instantdb/skills Would recommend doing `bunx/pnpx/npx create-instant-app` to scaffold a project too!
