Nice to see tooling like this pop up. At previous company, when we built our, mostly self-hosted, analytics platform, and had devs average on one schama migration per day, we spent so much time dealing with this semi-manually, leading to all kinds of breaking and hiccups downstream. We had something working rather automatically at the end, but it really felt like tooling that should exist for everybody.

I tend to make «sourdough discard crackers» if I have leftovers. It works well timing wise, I'm in the kitchen doing the initial stretching of my loaf anyways.
This is the way. Here's a recipe to get the curious going:
- 1 cup (227g) sourdough starter, unfed/discard
- 1 cup (113g) White Whole Wheat Flour or WW Pastry Flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons (57g) butter, room temperature (or 50/50 butter/olive oil)
- 2 tablespoons dried herbs, of your choice, optional
- coarse salt for sprinkling on top
Mix well and knead briefly. Let sit out for 30min-6hrs. Roll out thinly, cut (deep score) into rectangles, prick w/fork, brush with water and sprinkle flaky salt on top. Bake @ 350 for 20-25 min
I like think of it less as artificial intelligence and more like a combination of a lossy zip file of the internet and like a pretty coherent word generator.
I recall my AI professor in uni telling us during the first lecture that «Artificial intelligence is this target, that, and once we get there it, is it no longer artificial intelligence, is just an algorithm» – and this still feels like the case.
I cannot recall why i did not go for wiki.js myself, I tried, but I kept looking. Ended up with https://docmost.com/ and I've been quite happy. It's probably more equal to Notion then Wikipedia, but as a internal knowledge base it seem to be hit the right spot in terms simplicity and features.
I can't believe at this day, many products don't care about mobile viewing.
I thought it makes a big sense to write documents on PC and then view it elsewhere out there but developers don't seem to care about that usage.
Docmost makes tables completely unreadable on mobile having words wrap at the width of the device, especially when set as full-width which actually makes it even tighter for some odd reason.
Affine doesn't even support mobile at all and the GitHub issue about it is starting to age well.
AppFlowy does it the best of the bunch but it requires an app and it has minimal tablet support having only mobile app view than a native tablet view but at least it's usable having tables actually horizontally scroll as anyone would expect.
Outline isn't any better and a small test showed some weird behavior under mobile.
This is a great approach if you have an idea or startup and just want to get things done -- one I would choose 10 out of 10 times when starting something new. You'll know when it’s time to move on, and you can likely postpone that step a bit longer as well.
I actually just refer to myself as a Digital Janitor these days, even though I'm hired as SRE. Funny enough, it's met with much more understanding, and it is ironically kind of fitting as well.
I call myself a "Full Stack Software Janitor" since I mostly get hired to clean up and find myself cleaning up the work of other devs.
I've been thinking its less "Tech Debt" and more "Tech Sewage", as with sewage its a part of our normal day, and we just flush it down the drain hoping it never resurfaces, or at least that we won't be the one dealing with it.
