Remove the "author=dang" and you can see that it's not a sentiment rarely (ever?) expressed by anyone else.
What do people use as an alternative to SQS? I've had Kafka mentioned a few times but that's way heavier/more complicated than I need. Just a simple queue is perfect, and SQS' API is gloriously simple.

No, dang says they don't work well, which is not the same thing. Remove the "author=dang" and you can see that it's not a sentiment rarely (ever?) expressed by anyone else.
Then they wouldn't be mod comments.
not a sentiment rarely (ever?) expressed by anyone else.
This is unsurprising given other people rarely if ever publicly moderate HN.

Recently released code under AGPL-3.(https://github.com/prithvi16/ossdatabase)
But I want to go beyond aggregation and add following things
- User reviews, ratings
- Researcherd guides comparing features in most common usecases
- Interviews with Opensource maintainers, founders.
- Being able to create collections like awesome lists
- Everything being user editable and basic karma system for accepted edits.
Edits: Formatting and added links.
Can someone explain this to me? > Verdaccio > Open Source Alternative to npm in lieu of https://github.com/npm

Redis has a simple (but extremely powerful) Pub/Sub implementation[1] that should get you going for a long time.
Postgres also have a simple notify API[2] you can mix it with your own tables and just "notify" that some changes were made (when people say you can do anything with postgres nowadays they are not joking).
You probably can also roll your own implementation in any ACID database. Just keep adding records to an event table and consume them in scheduled batches. Should be more than enough for non real-time applications.

umm, “mastodon is an open source alternative to Facebook “?
I would put mastodon as a competitor of Facebook, don't you?

Probably because of https://basicattentiontoken.org/ For a group that's largely bet their fortunes on internet companies, it's kind of funny that anything crypto is so toxic here, but that's probably the reason. The actual browser is under good technical stewardship from what I know. It's essentially not-evil Chrome with an optional crypto-for-ads monetization model, a crypto wallet, and some primitive default privac…
My particular gripe with BAT is noted here[0] and AFAIK nothing has changed; you still have to use their KYC-compliant platform to ever exchange BAT for real-world money, as they'd much rather you re-donate the BAT to websites via brave's reward system instead of ever exchanging for USD. Other problems that they'd had: - were inserting referral tokens into the URL when visiting popular websites, so presumably brave w…
