as far as support, i know there is a huge effort going on right now to improve response time and support in general, also I'm not as active in discord as I ought to be there's just so much noise, feel free to ping me on there directly if I can help brandon/@ygwyg. can't promise it'll be an instant response but I will respond

sadly "hostile ux" is a phrase i've heard more than once and we're working hard to improve. if you're open to it, would love to hear more about the issues you've be running into

okiro creates instant, zero-cost clones of your codebase so you can try several AI-driven approaches at once.

It uses filesystem copy-on-write (APFS on macOS, btrfs on Linux), so you can spin up dozens of variants of a large repo without actually duplicating it on disk. The copies only diverge when files change.

Example:

okiro 3 --prompt "add authentication" # var-1: use Better Auth # var-2: use Clerk # var-3: roll your own with JWT

Each variant gets its own directory and an AGENTS.md with specific guidance. Open them side-by-side, let your AI tool work, then diff and keep the best result.

Would appreciate your feedback!

I wanted something simpler. Something I could launch and manage myself. And to be 100% honest I wanted to prove it could be done.

All I really needed was an API that handled the boring parts of a store and then stayed out of the way. Products, inventory, carts, checkout, orders, etc...

So I built Merchant.

Merchant is an open-source e-commerce backend that runs on Cloudflare Workers. It uses D1 for the database and Stripe for payments. It supports outbound webhooks so it can be extended without much effort. There’s also an admin dashboard if you don’t want to manage everything through the API.

It’s still early and there are rough edges, shipping is basic, it only supports Stripe and it's fairly US-centric. I probably wouldn’t move your production store to it yet.

I’d love to hear what you think. What would make something like this useful to you?

Humans get HTML, bots get markdown. Two tiny tweaks I’d make...

Send Vary: Accept so caches don’t mix Markdown and HTML.

Expose it with a Link: …; rel="alternate"; type="text/markdown" so it’s easy to discover.

We are super excited about the opportunity we have in front of us at Cloudflare, happy to answer any questions y'all might have.

Only thing I really left with was the author doesn't like the word gum. Seems like a hit piece on Sahil? Pretty sure the open-source part of Gumroad has been in the works for a while.

Big fan of Mathesar by the way!

1. We have a incredibly powerful CRUD editor on our table, in fact you can drag and drop and select multiple columns & rows, I haven't seen many other DB editors support this.

2. We allow you to pick foreign key constraints from a dropdown as well.

3. This is true.

4. Outerbase is open-source with more and more features heading into our core offering there. https://github.com/outerbase/studio

Love the Turso team!

Between this and the fact they got caught sharing private cap table data, it's like they're actively being hostile to their users.

$ npx @outerbase/studio \ --port=5000 \ --user=admin --pass=123 \ mysql://root:123@localhost:3306/chinook

outerbase.json { "driver": "mysql", "connection": { "database": "chinook", "host": "localhost", "port": 3306, "user": "root", "password": "123456" } }
