A bit lower level than most things discussed here but on the topic of overlay networks, I’ve used nebula for years and can recommend it

I run AssetRoom, which sends AI summaries of SEC filings. Found myself wanting a quicker way to discover interesting companies and hear what others think about them.

So I added a weekly poll. I pick a stock, show some key facts, and let people vote and discuss whether it’s overvalued or a hidden gem. Takes a few minutes, usually learn something.

By default free plans can run 5x concurrently on self-hosted, 20x minimum for all paying customers, and yes there's a "talk to sales" for >20x on the pricing page

Good to know - and I can see the confusion on that page - I'll pass on the feedback, thanks!

Can you send a link to the page you’re looking at? Thanks!

Pricing should mostly just be users + build minutes (for cloud runners) + storage. There is a few other optional, feature specific costs. Self hosted runners are free, but you need to self host caches/workspaces - our native ones have an egress bill to self hosted runners.

Is that because you have loads of users? (curious CircleCI employee here)

Created a community based poll where we vote and comment on a different stock every week.

Would love feedback.

I like finding and reading about companies but struggle to find the time.

So I started a weekly poll: I pick an interesting company, show some key facts and figures, and let the community vote and discuss - overvalued or hidden gem? A few minutes a week to discover a new company or see what others think about one you know.

Starting with Palantir this week. Would love HN's take.

Cheers!

just seen it- i think you made a typo in your email (.clm instead of .com) - I'll correct and re-send!

I'm working on AssetRoom, a free service to email you noise-free, easy to digest summaries of SEC filings from companies you're interested in.

I often read about interesting public companies (from an investment perspective or otherwise), but fail to then keep up with them over time (sometimes reading many months/years later how successful they were - or not!). I built this to make an easy way for me to follow updates from said companies.

Totally. But regardless lots of ideas get funded that turn out not to be "venture scale" and many at an early stage that do not even get to $10m ARR.

That is absolutely absurd that you have built something many have tried and failed to do with millions of dollars of venture capital behind them, all on your own.

Genuine kudos to you, you should be an inspiration to any indie hacker.

The S3 SDK allows you to generate a URL that can only be used to upload to a specific path (+ there are other constraints you can enforce, file size / mime type etc)

Correct, I have no need for the original filename in most cases. If I did want this info, for example if I was building a file browser type thing (ala dropbox), then sure I'd keep that in the db.

Personally I'm uploading directly from the browser to S3 using presigned URL's. All files get uploaded to a /tmp directory in my bucket. This bucket is configured so that all files in /tmp are deleted after 1 day (to remove any unsaved uploads). When a form is submitted, I pass the key to the temporary file in the form (via e.g ) and create the associated database record. I then move the file from its temporary location to its permanent one upon saving said record.

Feel free to email me to continue this discussion - email address is on my profile.

Something to the effect of my_app/profile_images/org_id/user_id/uuid_thumb.png uuid_large.png uuid_original.png can work.

Then in your app, you can have a way of specifying which version of the file you'd like to reference, for example:

`user.avatar.large -> '/uuid_large.png'`

Not sure if that helps?
