tekkertje··on The SQL query engine Trino (formerly PrestoSQL) recaps a decade of innovation
One of my favorite OSS projects! Probably the most flexible and fully featured distributed SQL query engine around. Congrats and looking forward to the next decade!
tekkertje··on European alternatives for digital products
Great initiative! It's getting more important to be able to find local vendors, making it easier to comply with privacy frameworks.
tekkertje··on Building Stripe Tax
Stripe tax makes life so much easier for european companies, that would otherwise have to keep track of tax rates and payments per EU country under the OSS ruling.
tekkertje··on Ask HN: What are you using to replace shared iCloud Photos albums?
Yogile[0] has been built with shared albums in mind and doesn't touch your photos other than for rescaling.

tekkertje··on Ask HN: Alternatives to Google Photos?
https://www.yogile.com. Hands down the easiest way to store and share photos with family, also doesn't sell your data!

Think that would be a good way to describe it!
tekkertje··on Show HN: Birabo – Effortless collaboration tool for teams
Hey HN,

Just launched a tool that we use to manage some (internal) projects.

The idea is to have something that can be used more easily at the project stage where things are still unstructured (as opposed to more structured tools like Trello). We use it mostly as a 'meta' store to link to other online documents, design files, or just pieces of text (GFM supported), so that they don't get lost and are easy to find later on.

For now only a free version is available, but depending on traction we'll add a paid plan with more file storage and larger uploads per file.

Love to hear your feedback on this!

tekkertje··on Show HN: Stormly – Build and share custom ML/AI-based analytics solutions
Thanks! Will do some more user testing with the navigation to see if some things can be ironed out.

The main API runs fully in the browser and is JS based with JSX for visualization and displaying components like charts, lists, tables, etc. By using JS it also keeps it accessible for a wide audience to quickly put something together.

The ML/AI plugins are called from the JS api and run on a VM that currently only supports Python, with the usual libraries such as scikit-learn, etc. In the near future we'll add more languages and libraries.

tekkertje··on Show HN: Stormly – Build and share custom ML/AI-based analytics solutions
Hi HN!

While I worked on consumer products in the past and used tools for analytics like Mixpanel, GA, or Amplitude, I often hit their limitations in terms of flexibility.

That meant eventually resorting to exporting data and doing the manual analysis while juggling between multiple products, and needing a paid subscription for each of them.

So I've decided to build Stormly to overcome these limitations.

Stormy is a platform that allows you to use existing ML/AI-based components to quickly put together solutions adjusted to your needs using a developer friendly JS/JSX api. This makes it not only extremely powerful but also flexible and shareable.

With Stormly, you can also dig into your data without any limitations, specify custom user properties, use custom SQL, and use/create custom plugins like forecasting, prediction models, and much more.

We hope you like what we've done here and are excited to hear your feedback!

tekkertje··on Crystal: Concurrency with easier syntax than Go
Thanks for the writeup! I've been following Crystal for a few years now, and am mostly interested in seeing how it will continue to develop with regard to parallelism.
tekkertje··on Show HN: Watercooler – macOS Zoom alternative (no Electron, hi-res video)
Looks great and good to see an os-x native alternative to Zoom!
tekkertje··on Show HN: SQL powered Log management and Security Analytics
Looks interesting, I like it when services like this allow you to use plain SQL to get things done.
tekkertje··on Show HN: Read The Count of Monte Cristo and others in installments in your email
Love the idea! Finally a way to force myself to start reading some books on the list, as I keep a zero inbox policy.
tekkertje··on Show HN: Price/Performance SEO Tool You Can See
Looks interesting. One thing I found slightly confusing is that the Try Demo button goes to Login, but doesn't show a direct way to signup.
tekkertje··on Show HN: A collection of open startups with there metrics
Nicely done! And a great way to benchmark your own SaaS product quickly.
tekkertje··on Topicctl – an easier way to manage Kafka topics
Thanks for this! Managing Kafka and topics can be messy at times, so a really welcome addition to apply more robust Kafka changes.
tekkertje··on Show HN: We make a Sketch to React/HTML tool (need advice)
Nice work! Looks like a great way to get an idea up quickly that can be tested and iterated based on feedback.
tekkertje··on My startup validation process
I went through "Running Lean" by Ash Maurya after reading Lean Startup, and it's a lot more practical and full of examples that can be applied in your own business. Only thing is that it's more oriented at consumer startups, so for B2B SaaS I'd recommend "The Startup Owner's Manual" by Steve Blank.
tekkertje··on Launch HN: Synth (YC S20) – Realistic, synthetic test data for your app
Congrats, looks great and quite useful for the cases you've mentioned.

Only thing is that I initially thought the pricing was a bit high, but that was because I thought there was no trial option. On the second visit found it at the bottom of the page. Maybe an idea for an A/B test in the future to put the trial option right below the pricing?

tekkertje··on Umami: Self-hosted open-source alternative to Google Analytics
Would be great to see official custom event tracking support in the future.
tekkertje··on Show HN: MentSpot – Connecting mentors and mentees
Hi Maurice here, I built this webapp.

The idea is that instead of searching for hours via LinkedIn, Facebook or IRL to find a suitable mentor, this app makes it easier to connect with a potential mentor in just a few clicks.

Would love to hear what you think :)
