The author mentions about it in the name change for edgeDb to gel. However, it could also have been added in the Acquisitions landscape. Gel joined vercel [1].

Thanks for catching this. Updated: https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~pavlo/blog/2026/01/2025-databases-re...

I need to figure out an automatic way to track these.


You just ruined my day. The post makes it sound like gel is now dead. The post by Vercel does not give me much hope either [1]. Last commit on the gel repo was two weeks ago.

From discord:

> There has been a ton of interest expressed this week about potential community maintenance of Gel moving forward. To help organize and channel these hopes, I'm putting out a call for volunteers to join a Gel Community Fork Working Group (...GCFWG??). We are looking for 3-5 enthusiastic, trustworthy, and competent engineers to form a working group to create a "blessed" community-maintained fork of Gel. I would be available as an advisor to the WG, on a limited basis, in the beginning.

> The goal would be to produce a fork with its own build and distribution infrastructure and a credible commitment to maintainership. If successful, we will link to the project from the old Gel repos before archiving them, and potentially make the final CLI release support upgrading to the community fork.

> Applications accepted here: https://forms.gle/GcooC6ZDTjNRen939

> I'll be reaching out to people about applications in January.


I would think a two-week break over the holiday season wouldn't be a death knell.


Normally, I hate to comment on things like license, trademark etc. as it is not what I understand deeply nor I think my comments would make any difference since I am not any Lawyer etc.

But really interested in maybe understanding this a little better.

sqllite is in Public domain. From their website 'All code authors, and representatives of the companies they work for, have signed affidavits dedicating their contributions to the public domain and originals of those signed affidavits are stored in a firesafe at the main offices of Hwaci.[1]'

Now if one of the authors is behind this or funding this, how can they still use the domain to a personal benefit? I do not understand that. Does that mean, if I hold on to a good domain hack of something that is highly regarded in public domain will it not be trademark infringement irrespective of whether somebody from that company is behind or not?

Hello, SQLite Cloud's founder here. We are backed by SQLite's author, and we have the full rights to use SQLite in the company's and products' names.


Always nice to see something in here. Would love to hear what is your take on https://www.instantdb.com/?


I haven't tried InstantDB yet, but it looks really interesting. Thanks for the pointer! Will definitely check it out.


I have been using Loop(https://github.com/MrKai77/Loop) after trying some of the alternatives listed here and wanted to post that as it was not mentioned. It is something that solves what I was looking for in window management on macos and just putting it out here :).


Yep, Loop does all I need and is not in my way.


Like all the comments below, a show HN should have been the norm, but they knew that would not get any clicks and this. However, I do not understand their pricing. If nordcraft's ppl are here, please tell me how does it work. For open source, you say there is a limit of 20k requests? . But I can always download the code/web-components and deploy anywhere I want right? Then even enterprise can do that? I do not understand it. Also it is Apache License 2.0. I can host it on my own cloud. Are there some restrictions if I do that?


Not according to their rules: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html


good job. Thanks for sharing.


Yes, AI was heavily used to develop the app—I experimented with different models and IDEs to speed things up. A separate blog post might be coming out soon to dive into those details. Overall, I used claude the most and the final IDE was Kiro.


Me on macos and using an android phone. `scrcpy --tcpip` is my goto to do any SmS, messages, posts or anything related to typing on mobile.


I just downloaded on mac M4 pro mini. I installed the apple silicon version and try to launch it and it fails. No error message or anything. Just the icon keep bouncing on the dock. I assumed it needs some privacy and screen recording and audio permissions and explicitly gave them, however still just jumps on the dock and the app does not open. (OS, mac sequoia 15.5)


Seems like

this is invalid on Mac mini. Should be fixed today.


working on trying to identify the problem! could you come over to our discord where we could better support you? https://hyprnote.com/discord


That is very strange. Can you launch it from the command line and share what you got?

/Applications/Hyprnote.app/Contents/MacOS/Hyprnote


I would want to share my pngs or screenshots and generate the mockups rather than using something that I have not designed or my app will have.So suggestion is to take an image and then build a mockup from that maybe.


Thanks for the feedback. You also have the option to upload reference images to your prompt.
