We love when new users join hn don't we :)

Whats the use case for opening a 100gb file on a phone?

The 100GB was just me having fun and pushing its breaking point.

Nice, I'm creator of Logdy.dev [https://logdy.dev/logdy-pro] and some time ago I was developing a pro version that has similarities to your project. Would love to chat if you plan to commercialize your solution.

Whats the technology you used? I love the speed of it


Thanks, it's just raw js canvas and msgpack on the api to use less bandwidth


In what extent this is a metabase alternative? I'm a heavy Metabase user and there's nothing to compare really in this product.


We've (https://www.definite.app/) replaced quite a few metabase accounts now and we have a built-in lakehouse using duckdb + ducklake, so I feel comfortable calling us a "duckdb-based metabase alternative".

When I see the title here, I think "BI with an embedded database", which is what we're building at Definite. A lot of people want dashboards / AI analysis without buying Snowflake, Fivetran, BI and stitching them all together.


Not open source though?


hi, dev building Shaper here. Both, Shaper and Metabase, can be used to build dashboards for business intelligence functionality and embedded analytics. But the use cases are different: Metabase is feature-rich and has lots of functionality for self-serve that allows non-technical users to easily build their own dashboards and drill down as they please. With Shaper you define everything as code in SQL. It's much more minimal in terms of what you can configure, but if you like the SQL-based approach it can be pretty productive to treat dashboards as code.


sorry, so it ain't an alternative in any way. Its like saying a bicycle is an alternative to an airplane, both have seats...


My mental model is ignoring people who complain about free stuff


Ohhhh it's free! Let's shove it up the arse!!!!

Yeah yeah, like someone is doing charity here.


True, how free is something really when it’s full of advertisement, trackers and popups


Who remembers Graphite and Carbon? This was 2010 era…

I've been developing AI apps for the past year and encountered a recurring issue. Non-tech individuals often asked me to adjust the prompts, seeking a more professional tone or better alignment with their use case. Each request involved diving into the code, making changes to hardcoded prompts, and then testing and deploying the updated version. I also wanted to experiment with different AI providers, such as OpenAI, Claude, and Ollama, but switching between them required additional code modifications and deployments, creating a cumbersome process. Upon exploring existing solutions, I found them to be too complex and geared towards enterprise use, which didn't align with my lightweight requirements. So, I created Hypersigil, a user-friendly UI for prompt management that enables centralized prompt control, facilitates non-tech user input, allows seamless prompt updates without app redeployment, and supports prompt testing across various providers simultaneously.

It worth taking a look at the prompts in the repo if you are keen understand how apps like these work. It's interesting to see that I basically have a similar process/rules fed to LLM when building locally. I also have similar process for the backend and a nice flow for connecting FE and BE with API contracts - work perfectly.
