Must be some dirty ETL pipelines :')

Yes it does :)

That's a nice diagram! Yeah that's roughly it. We'll be adding support for more sources of truth in the future to expand coverage, like the ones you mention but also NoSQL like Mon…

Good question -- the primary difference is the method of integration with Postgres. ZomboDB is a Postgres extension, which limits their compatibility with Postgres serivces like AW…

Hey HN! We're Phil and Ming, co-founders of Retake ( https://github.com/getretake/retake ). Retake is an open source tool that adds keyword and semantic (i.e hybrid) search to data…

* If the “real-time server” goes offline temporarily, will it catch up on any newly added rows in the interim? Yes, we're built on top of Kafka * Do you intend to emit any OpenTele…

Purpose-built for low-latency applications, Retake syncs vector stores with their sources of truth. Think semantic search for e-commerce listings, merchant or receipt matching in f…

In December 2022, we shut down Whist after ~3 years. For those who didn't know us, we were a Mighty competitor, building a cloud-streamed browser. I spent a long time reflecting on…

Whether you have 1 cloud tab or 100 cloud tabs, the resource utilization on your machine will be the same. If you open more local tabs, though, those will take up RAM/CPU on your m…

Charging a subscription fee is the primary way for which we would pay for cloud compute time -- but we're thinking there will be a version of Whist which will have very limited amo…

Noted, we'll keep this in mind as we go forward then

You absolutely can!

Exciting! We'll be onboarding users on macOS in the second half of July, and Windows will follow in August or September

We haven't implemented what you describe yet, but we've verified that basic accessibility support works for the Whist browser. We'll be making sure that Chrome's accessibility supp…

We'll look into it, our team cares heavily about privacy and if we judge that this is a valuable way to protect our users we will definitely implement it

The basic version of Whist (with limited cloud tabs usage), will be free, forever. For full cloud tabs support, we'll be charging a subscription fee as an add-on on top of the brow…

Potentially! We could make this happen, it probably wouldn't even be that much work. It's more of a question of whether enough people/companies would be interested in self-hosting,…

The Whist privacy guarantee is that we've engineered our system so that no one, not even us, can see what's going on in your cloud tabs. We'll be releasing a blog post about how ou…

Whist and Mighty are similar in that they are browsers that offer cloud-offloading. Whist differs by being built in a native browser on your computer, rather than being fully offlo…

If you are on macOS, you'll get access to Whist in the second half of July. If you're on Windows, it will likely be in August or September :)

Yes! Whist will support all native Chrome features like history sync-ing :)
