My first ever Mac is officially losing Apple support. Can't bring myself to chuck it 😭

In Omarchy 3.0, @ryanrhughes and @dhh added T2Linux support out-of-the-box.

T2Linux is such a cool project. They even got the Touchbar working ❤️

@stopachka @drewh_net Ooo love it. What can I say, I like a little JSX 🤷‍♂️

[Hunter Tinney @hunter_in_irl]

@JoeAverbukh @betomoedano It's true. I've always felt like the philosophy of Instant is as much the product as the actual DB is, if that makes sense

[Hunter Tinney @hunter_in_irl]

@hackmdio That sucks, sorry to hear that 😢 I wonder if the attackers took advantage of the Cloudflare outage

[Hunter Tinney @hunter_in_irl]

I'm building a cloud storage provider on top of @instant_db

- C++ websocket client subscribed to live queries from InstantDB
- Windows Cloud Files API for shell integration
- Will sync up & down using InstantDB upload/download APIs

@stopachka I like WhenIsGood

[Hunter Tinney @hunter_in_irl]

It's been amazing working with @stopachka & @JoeAverbukh. Their product, @instant_db, powers the backend of Palette. I love how simple InstantDB is. It made writing queries a breeze, and I can ship features so much faster than before.

[Stopa @stopachka]

Building Instant has been a winding journey.

@JoeAverbukh and I met in 2014. We quickly became best friends, and senior and staff engineers at Facebook and Airbnb together.

The divisible by 100 & 400 rules are genius. Without them, leap days would cause the calendar to drift by 1 day every 128 years. Instead, they managed to slow it down to 1 day every 3333 years.

It's simple and it works.

[Lauren McKenzie @TheMcKenziest]

What. The fuck.

Leap years aren’t just every 4 years. They’re very 4 years unless that year is divisible by 100. So no leap year in 2100.

But there was one in 2000 if you remember. That’s because the exception to the exception is if the year is *also* divisible by 400.

WHAT

@stopachka @usepylon Sounds like a hackathon sometime? 👀

[Stopa @stopachka]

2 years, YC, 5 team members, and 2000 commits later:

Instant is now open source!

[Hunter Tinney @hunter_in_irl]

@stopachka must buy

[Hunter Tinney @hunter_in_irl]

@useinstantdb Let's gooooo

[Stopa @stopachka]

Sneak peak: json patch coming into Instant soon :)

Will be available for web & RN!

[Palette @palette_tools]

Public beta is live! We have a forever free version. If you’re working on an indie animation, game, or a client project, you should check it out. We were tired of apps like google sheets, trello, and dropbox. https://t.co/kDrwV2C2O5
