hey @bamazizi, I think you are looking for archbee.com

we are cross the technical documentation spectrum solution, doing anything from end-user/dev API/guides to internal management of technical knowledge.

let me know if you'd like a demo, I'm the founder.

@kennywong1137 some curiosities :)

will there be a provisioning x amount of compute step for the customers?

or is it completely serverless offering for the customers?

if it's serverless how do you plan to manage the spikes on your own infra?

looks like a nice abstraction for distributed computing :)

where does it run?

Let's consider Visual Studio Code. It's OSS — still, I read the codebase a couple of times and I wouldn't venture into hacking into it — it's too large.

Being OSS enables hackability, it doesn't provide or guarantee it.

I've heard these arguments before and they sound good in theory, however in real life I haven't seen it work that way.

Projects dying off depends on developing a revenue stream or being backed by some company with a real revenue stream. Never solely about being open source. I have another comment about this when I talk about Lazarus below.

Being cross-platform sounds great in theory. However, most users don't use multiple OSes. Also, being cross-platform is extremely hard... for early-stage software you're better off making it work well on one platform, then extending when you achieve some traction with users. Being cross-platform with one tech also removes the chances of benefitting of platform specific APIs that might make it work better.

Lazarus, while I find it easy to get enthusiastic about, I'm old enough to have gone through a couple of cycles. The reason Electron with all its issues (memory consumption, app size) is winning is because there's a mass of developers that know how to build apps with HTML/JS/CSS. Like Haskell or OCaml or other awesome languages, if there's no mass of people that can contribute, the ecosystem never takes off — and ecosystem is the main trait of languages taking off. This is why an OSS project written in Lazarus using some relatively unknown UI APIs is unlikely to survive — I hope it does though.

Product Marketing Issue:

As a user of Hacker News, I don't care that it's open-source, cross-platform or written in Lazarus.

the team from flipper zero have put in a real effort into the docs.

P.S. docs are built with www.archbee.io

the deadline is gone, but I also applied after the deadline and got in.

you should apply now!

my thoughts exactly...

a graph database is not useful because of its query language, it's useful because of its performance characteristics when bringing linked data — it could never be performant on a Postgres backend.

does it work on a typical ES index, or do you have to re-index in a certain way for it to work?
