> That thing makes the world actively a worse place to live
Is really necessary to get the point across.
A lot of things are evolving though in the gis world. You can now, even in the browser, render huge datasets with geoparquet, geoarrow, wasm and webgl.
There are some true serverless approaches out there for the signaling, e.g. where both peers scan each other's QR code, but that obviously has very limited use.
... You're one of the most well funded companies in the world, you shouldn't be asking for features to open aource devs, but you should be opening PRs
There are some solutions, but they typically lock you in to a very specific stack and most of the times it's hard to write extensive BE logic. Meteor is an exception that is more flexible through it's RPC system, but it also ties you to mongo and their outdated build system.
It's now 2025 and I'm driving my 3rd i3. I just love the way it handles. Basically feels like driving a bumper car on steroids. I'm not even ashamed about its silly looks anymore. Really fun well built car.
Just wish it got carplay/android auto. Although there's aftermarket solutions.
But if you claim to be a small team that needs to ship fast, I believe you should just pick the industry standard boring technology and grind away.
> As a small team, we need to ship fast.
So they chose a solution that required them to:
> Spent almost a month prototyping
> there was no real ecosystem for Go-app UI components and we knew we’d have to write our own
> Go WASM is slow at parsing large amounts of JSON, which led to dramatic architecture
Not sure what their definition of shipping fast is, since this just sounds like resume oriented programming.
So if this stirs up a large controversy, it might actually make the fakes, especially the signed ones, collectibles as well. Probably never the value they first had, but I hope the wistle blower can recover some of his losses.
