We're live on product hunt today!

After 4 years, we’re announcing Instant 1.0.

Instant is the best backend for AI-coded apps.

Let us tell you why.

[Ignacio @nachodeh]

@RoniMukher They are meant for different things

[Ignacio @nachodeh]

@stopachka Realising how productive mornings can be. I'd recommend against an alarm, let your body wake up naturally and you'll be way more energetic and enjoy it. Just go to bed earlier. Haven't used an alarm in 5+ years :)

[Instant @instant_db]

Today we're releasing an experiment: manyminiapps

1. You don't need to sign up
2. You write one prompt
3. You get an app back with it's on database, un under 2 minutes.

It's the world first massively multiplayer online, mini app maker.

@stemonteduro @_cat_turner Same issue with IAM. Switched to GCP and couldn't be happier

[Ignacio @nachodeh]

@instant_db Thanks for the essay guys, really enjoyed it! Let's go 🚀

[Instant @instant_db]

Ignacio and Javier left their jobs at Meta to build Mirando, an AI-powered real-estate platform for Latin America.

In this thread we’ll share their backstory, the lessons learned, and what’s ahead!

@stopachka Not look like every other one shotted app out there :)

I guess at 1-2k mrr it might be too early to hire a contractor. Similar with ads, only worth it if they are bringing revenue, ideally shouldn't be a cost but an investment.

Agree on your main point though. Building a money making SAAS is harder than they make it seem, and will take longer than expected to make it 10k+ mrr. You need to be 100% committed and able to do it (financially and emotionally)

@stopachka 💪

@ataschz Estamos trabajando en eso! Lanzamos https://t.co/vej9ctGpGL la semana pasada para Montevideo. Vamos a cubrir Argentina próximamente 🚀

[Ignacio @nachodeh]

@stopachka Could be an inline button within the input that changes state and disables input when selected. That way, the value is always defined in the input and not in 2 different places

[Ignacio @nachodeh]

@CodingKev_ Reject and write a better prompt

[Ignacio @nachodeh]

What works great for me with cursor:
1. Cursor rules file where I explain db structure and reference db files
2. Referenced files are the schema, perms and an InstantDb.tsx file where I define all db ops

I guess you could add a sitemap to all docs links as well in the mdc file but hasn't been necessary for me :)

[Ignacio @nachodeh]

@SullyBillions Depends on the gf/wife 😁

[Ignacio @nachodeh]

@instant_db Awesome updates as usual 👏
Can't wait to see what you've been cooking 🍳

[Ignacio @nachodeh]

@punky_qster @seikjaboote @signulll For a senior eng at Meta in the US, total value of RSUs could easily be $1M+ so tax wouldn't be a big worry :)
That's also why they're not being granted during layoffs. It doesn't make sense

[Ignacio @nachodeh]

@ColtonSconyers Just curious. How do you close a pre seed and seed round but are not able to afford a dev?
