#4Great move, RethinkDB folks!
I'm looking forward start prototyping some apps using Horizon. On a first look seems very promising.
Congrats!

#5I'm continuously impressed by Rethink. When I first used it, I ran into a few issues with changefeeds. Since they work in the open, I could quickly look at the Github issues and see that the fixes/features were already slated for future release milestones. To me, that's a huge win.

#7Hey guys, Slava @ Rethink here. The team is really excited to launch Horizon -- it's based on a lot of feedback from users of very different backgrounds, and we think it will make web development dramatically easier.
I've been up for about twenty-four hours, but I'll be around to answer any questions for the rest of the day.

Hi Slava!
What do you guys think about the approach taken here, and what are the major differences in approach theat you took with Horizon?

I've had really good luck with that whitelisting approach, so I'm wondering what the biggest wins would be from potentially switching to Horizon.
