Okay, this is really, really cool and is exactly my niche, as you mentioned it's kinda a combination of things like Stylus/uBlock Origin filters and custom filters/etc. This is really needed, as for example GitHub code preview is completely and utterly fucked, to put it lightly. Showing symbols, not being able to select code properly without weird visual glitches happening..... requires a bunch of scripts to fix. (https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/54962).
What's your funding plan? You mentioned paid plan, but what's the actual benefit for users that they would pay for this? (I totally would, FWIW).
Do you foresee companies who need to build special widgets for whatever reason for random websites they use as kind of "Extension light" alternatives - your product reminds me of Retool (https://retool.com/), but for website tweaking.
Very cool product, love the ability to do "extra things" which will fix a whole bunch of websites I use everyday that I CBF'd either making an extension to fix or battling the uBlock/stylus filters.
I think a hybrid approach works best (store on Snowflake native and iceberg/tables where needed), and allows you the benefit of Snowflake without paying the cost for certain workloads (which really adds up).
We're going to see more of this (either open or closed source), since Snowflake has acquired Crunchydata, and the last major bastion is "traditional" database <> Snowflake.
After running Snowflake in production for 5+ years I would rather have my data on something like Parquet/Iceberg (which Snowflake fully supports...) than in the table format Snowflake has.
Everytime you want to query your data, you need to pay the compute cost.
If instead you can write to something like Parquet/Iceberg, you're not paying for access your data.
Snowflake is great at aggregations and other stuff (seriously, huge fan of snowflakes SQL capabilities), but let's say you have a visualisation tool, you're paying for pulling data out
.
Instead, writing data to something like S3, you instead can hookup your tools to this.
It's expensive to pull data out of Snowflake otherwise.
I would have thought this was me writing this in a fugue state.
I was diagnosed last year with ADHD, at 32.
I would say ADHD has traits, you might not have all but once you start doing research into it you find you tick a lot of the boxes. Psychologists can help as they can figure out what works with you, once you find a decent one.
Everything in this post is great, as always find what works for you.
Except there is a difference between software and slavery.
Society has moved on in the decades since Stallman started (for better or for worse), and we need to figure out a way to stay true to their vision around software and bringing new people on board with the free software movement. Having such extremist comments when someone is trying to figure out how to make their game opensource without breaking agreements for other parts they rely on isn't going to get anyone anywhere.
