stuiterbal··on Ask HN: Front-end devs, what is your current db and backend of choice?
Nhost user here.

Pros:

- The team is very approachable and responsive.

- Hasura is awesome! Especially the relationships. It took a while before it clicked but I don't see myself going back to joins. Also permissions are really powerful.

- Nhost stack allows you to do more complex stuff than with Supabase.

Cons:

- The documentation can sometimes be a bit unclear. Comparing to Supabase they can really improve on this.

- Deploying migrations can be a pain. Took a while before it clicked.

- Not a big community (yet). But they are growing.

stuiterbal··on Ask HN: How Can I Make My Front End React to Database Changes in Real-Time?
I've been using Hasura.io (through nhost.io) for quite some time now and I think it would suit your needs very well. It is very good in handling complex relationships with subscriptions.
stuiterbal··on Ask HN: Why has no one replaced Ticketmaster?
Have a look at https://www.get-protocol.io/ They are selling tickets on the blockchain and challenging Ticketmaster since 2016. More than 4 million tickets already sold. More statistics can be found here: https://dashboard.get-community.com
stuiterbal··on Ask HN: Is there a way to efficiently subscribe to an SQL query for changes?
Maybe https://hasura.io is something to have a look at? It's a GraphQL server that gives you realtime GraphQL API's over Postgres/SQL.

I've been trying out https://nhost.io for some time now. They use Hasura and I'm impressed by how easy subscriptions are using Apollo to query the GraphQL API.

stuiterbal··on Ask HN: How to Properly Learn CSS
It might seem silly but there a few games you can play to learn flexbox or grid. For example:

Grid Critters: https://gridcritters.com/

Flexbox Zombies: https://geddski.teachable.com/p/flexbox-zombies

Flexbox froggy: https://flexboxfroggy.com/

I think you can see these games as pieces of a puzzle. You will need all the pieces to understand the big picture.

Also there a some books from A Book Apart you can try. https://abookapart.com/search?type=product&q=CSS

Maybe start with CSS3 for Web designers by Dan Cederholm https://abookapart.com/products/css3-for-web-designers
