Thats amazing! We have been doing very similar optimisation for clientvectorsearch.com

Great work!


I found it very fascinating the whole story about how Rewind backed by a16z gets suddenly hurt by a young entrepreneur. Hurt so deep they release not ready product to the market just to capture it. Whole story is about wearable devices.

Which horse you pick in the race?


This is bad PR for Rewind, they aren't the underdog they think they are.


I really wonder how do those frameworks creators earn for living? And why are there so many even if there are competitors like next.js who obviously hold the market


Today, I'm not sure. But a few years ago, you raised VC money, gained a user base, used that to raise more money, and then ran a 10 person team on $20m for a while. I think the next step is a docker desktop move,or a hashicorp move where you offer a managed offering on top of your open source project.


Eternally rasing more VC money. The core devs were previously snowpack and skypack, both VC funded that never got bought or sold a product.


There no doubt that writing a popular frameworks boosts your status which could make it easier to get a job at VC funded startups. Vercel hired the top devs working on React and the creator of svelte. Netlify hired the creator of solid.

Some rely on donations from companies that use their frameworks. Eg: Evan You (creator of Vue)


They have a react job to fund their side-project (/jk) :o)


That's the best feature of React: To pay the bill.


Hi HN, In my recent post I discuss how we can democratize data science by making it as accessible as a game. During a meeting with Sam Altman in Munich, I learned that OpenAI's growth is hindered by a need for more human talent. This inspired me to rethink how we interact with data.

I'm developing a prototype that uses ChatGPT technology, enabling users to explore data as if playing a text-based adventure game.

If this idea resonates with you, or you're interested in collaboration, reach out to me on Twitter @Karmedge.

Cheers, Robert

I may sound critical. But how do you plan to compete with millions of other services doing exactly the same? first which came to my mind: pdf.ai


feels like magic. Those small steps like take me to the biggest city and it magically goes to Barcelona is something from the future.


I have just started using https://www.sunsama.com/ and it feels super great.

I have adhd and it helps me to stay on the point with my weekly and daily plans. its pretty steep learning curve for first few days. One of the key features for me were:

- automatically schedule task for the day to the empty slot ( like motion or reclaim)

- weekly objectives. I later connect it with each one of my tasks and see how I moved on my goals during review session

things3 for the inbox tasks.

notion for project notes, apple notes for quick entry

anki + chatgpt for books and courses better recollection

also gestimeter for mac or forest app to set up a quick pomodoro.

tot for mac to keep the notes which are too short term to put ot notion

pastepal to keep my copy paste history searchable


and on the other side you may get insanely creative and change your life for the better and build something valuable to the humanity.

Tradeoff is clear for me.


This will never happen, and is an absurd cope for people that just want their fix and to be addicts without feeling bad.


I’m sorry, but are you saying that drugs categorically can not lead to inspiration that can help creativity?

Aldous Huxley would like a word…


how would you argue the fact that you don't develop addiction to this stuff?
