🚨 Telegram just applied for the .gram domain

☕️ THE TEA:

Telegram with over 1 billion users has just applied for the .gram domain with the intention of allowing its users to have a personalized .gram domain.

WHY IT MATTERS:

Once ICANN has approved Telegram domain’s request, subscribed users will be getting access to their personalized second-level domain websites hosted by Telegram. However, there is no Information yet of the cost. Telegram might be providing a range of subscriptions for their website services.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Companies like Netlify, Vercel already provide its users with a second-level domain to host websites for free. Telegram would be closing the gap between technical and non technical hosting of websites for its users as the platform already makes doing business easy for its users.
Business users might have to connect their accounts to the their personalized “.gram” websites without the need of any technical experience.

MY TAKE

Social media Business visibility has evolved from spending so much money on websites to creating a Whatsapp or Telegram account which can sync with your business page. Although Facebook pages is somewhat similar to what Telegram is proposing. However, this move could bring more business activities via Telegram using the second-level domain as a leverage for business visibility.

Would you be using the Telegram website or are you waiting for Meta to launch personalized .meta website platform?

🚨 Cursor has completed its life cycle!

☕️ THE TEA:

Cursor which started as an AI powered code editor has transformed to something much bigger.

Just after some days of finalizing the deal with SpaceX, Cursor says its platform can support the entire software development cycle.

The journey from planning a project, to writing code, running tests, reviewing changes and shipping software.

WHY IT MATTERS:

As AI is moving beyond writing codes, agents can now collaborate in development workflows. Cursor on the other hand is adding plugging that connects agents to tools like deployment and testing.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Cursor has evolved to look something like this

AI Autocomplete code -> AI Coding assistant -> AI coding agents -> AI Software development team.

The futuristic part of this process could involve AI handling the entire process of building software which makes it more interesting.

MY TAKE:

The process from Cursor isn’t just to make developers code faster. It’s trying to give more power to developers to focus on designing systems while AI agents handle the execution.

Now the question has been changed from “Can AI code?” to “How much software development process can AI handle?”

Would you trust Cursor to take a feature from idea -> code -> tests -> production?

Free Database: Firebase vs Supabase

☕️ THE TEA:

As a developer, you would have come across or heard of some free database tiers like MongoDB Atlas, Supabase, Oracle Cloud, Aiven, Apache Kafka, Firebase and the likes.

Comparing the most common used modern database Firebase and Supabase.

Firebase: This is efficient for developers who are looking for Google to handle most of the backend infrastructure.

Best for:

1. Creating Mobile apps
2. Used for saving game data
3. Manage push notifications,
4. Used for apps that need to scale quickly
5. Great for developers who don’t want to manage infrastructure

Supabase: This is efficient for developers who want a powerful PostgreSQL database that they can have total control over.

Best for:

1. Web Applications
2. Cloud hosted programs
3. Applications with heavy data usage
4. Applications with complex SQL queries
5. Developer tools

Which one is Better?

It actually depends on what you’re building.

Firebase is heavily managed and deeply integrated into Google’s ecosystem suitable if you want to move fast with minimal backend infrastructure.

Supabase gives you PostgreSQL with APIs, authentication, storage and other backend service built around it. Suitable if you want to have more control over your data.

Firebase or Supabase, which one are you choosing?

Apple is building an AI model for the China market 🇨🇳

☕️THE TEA:

Apple in collaboration with Alibaba has built its own AI model specifically for the Chinese market with the intent to finally bring Apple Intelligence to users in China.

The move is due to AI regulations in China which will make it difficult for foreign AU services like ChatGPT to operate there.

Would you want your iPhone’s AI experience to depend on the country you’re currently in?
