I'm surprised that the developer experience around sandboxing on macOS is generally so bad. Seatbelt is in limbo and apple containers are just a pain to work with as some have highlighted in this thread

I will charge you $100 to answer that question

We weren’t affected, but as a startup I’ll take a minor outage over getting stonewalled by GCP/Azure/AWS any day. Railway has consistently been responsive and actually understands the problem you’re describing. With the big three, unless you’re spending serious money or paying for premium support, you often just get links to docs instead of real help.

We include $5 in credits for every new account, after which you can pay-as-you-go for credits. I can drop some more credits in your account so you get to try it out fully, let me know what's the email (I'm a at livedocs)

Livedocs runs locally on your machine or on customer-managed infra, has full terminal access, supports canvas mode for building custom UIs (not just charts), and uses long-running agent workflows with sub-agents coordinating work over time, etc

There is a lot more to data work than just SQL + charts like the tool you mentioned

True! Tried to do that with the video + the example prompts but definitely could use improvement. Thanks for the feedback

In our case, in order to run the queries we need to provision a sandbox and connect to your data sources to give meaningful answers, unlike a general purpose chat. We need to have some authentication to prevent abuse here, but the product itself has a free tier so you can use it without paying or needing a card.

Working on Livedocs.com

We are building a modern alternative to Jupyter, something like Cursor meets Jupyter.
