Is your name Mèo Dài - Longcat in Vietnamese? :)

Cool project! I wonder what commercial use cases come from it. On the My First Million podcast they talked a about a company selling color predictions to brands for multiple six figures. Maybe you can find correlations and predictions in the data one day.

nước đái I use it for all kinds of color generators.

I met the founder of Kraken.io - an image crunching SaaS.

It’s been some years already. Back then he had an office and a couple of developers. Seemed to be doing well. It has probably grown since then.

Somewhat related: who is using MUX successfully?

We connected it with our Rails app (main reason was that we jse inertia-rails and React on the frontend).

With MUX you give it a URL to create videos. That doesn’t work with google drive, so we do some hacks in a background job and click download, then store it in activestorage. Then provide MUX with our url.

API and backend is good. Pricing also cheaper than S3 in most cases. We are not live yet, but it works reliably so far.

I've used it successfully in the past - found it a pretty pleasant experience integrating it into a Django app.

This. We started using it with Rails and it’s been great.

I do like scrappy rails views that can be assembled fast - but the React views our FE dev is putting on top of existing rails controllers have a much better UX.

Just reading “seveneves” (newl stephensom) - so this comes in handy!

> it’s due to start production in two years

The specs are great for 2025. Let’s wait for 2027 when BYD has a better performing model for much less.

I am all vouching for VW’s electric efforts. I drove the ID Buzz which is great. I just wonder if they could sell competitively without tariffs in the EU.

They already sell the eUp, which in my country costs €18k after government incentives. It has a range of 260km.

This looks like it is just a replacement for that in the "ID" range.

I think the id.2 (25k before incentives, out next year) is supposed to be the replacement for that.

The e-Up isn't sold anymore since EOY 2023.

No, of course they can't. You can't beat extremely cheap labor, government subsidized lithium, and devalued currency without tariffs.

Are you confusing it with Litestream, the backup solution? https://litestream.io

What they meant was https://github.com/oldmoe/litestack which has a lot of things built on top of sqlite, like job queue and caches. Rails 8 now comes with most of them out of the box.

My SaaS ran on litestack until rails 8 came out, then I switched without problems.

Ahh, yeah you’re right. My bad. Litestream was what I was thinking of.

Yeah I used the full litestack (and litestream for backups) for my SaaS. Oldmoe is also auper helpful on twitter.

Once Rails 8 came out I switched it all over to the solid* gems which pretty much did the same thing.

Sqlite is awesome in the beginning, especially as there are no extra services to start (I only have a web process and a jobs process), all is sqlite.

Sometimes there are db locking issues (using blazer gem, so I guess that uses a different adapter), and I had to optimize some queries. But that’s about it. The SaaS processes thousands of job daily (mission control gem is awesome) and stable so far.

At one point our DB grew to 16GB because I stored all Api requests. Even then it was still fast (except queries on that api requests table).

Running four sqlites definitely saved me some time which I could use for customer focused things. Highly recommend for MVPs, probably more.

And a list of people doing nothing together with you.

This works surprisingly well. Just shared it with my sci fi group.

Idea: make an email opt-in and then new releases based on old preferences. My use case is always to go to DVDs/netflix releases, filter for sci fi and then high IMDB.
