In past instances similar to this one, when Heroku wasn't acknowledging or giving any details it was a case of DDoS. It makes sense to stay quiet to avoid other potential attackers to pile in. Maybe they have found an AWS endpoint that was suffering DDoS attacks and they brought down a lot of people with it. Heroku is surely on AWS, I'm positive that also OpenAI is using something there and all the others affected. Let's wait and see, it will take a few days for sure.

From Datocms here :) We are also actively experimenting on porting our main app. We are doing progress, so far so good!

The Nextjs site lasted 4 years. Before that we had a Gatsby one: https://github.com/datocms/old-website/

I'm helping our local Fablab to manage physical access with a series of ESP8266 and esp-rfid https://github.com/esprfid/esp-rfid/ (of which I became maintainer. If you want to use it as well I can help!)

Working in a SaaS, I'm always surprised by these companies giving two months notice before shutting down services that are powering pretty significant websites.

This move is going to cost companies using Gatsby Cloud a lot, especially if they had built tooling and workflows around Gatsby Cloud.

Why are they rushing this shutdown? 2 months seems really too little for me.

Also, Netlify is targeting enterprise customers more now, doesn't this two months notice give a bad impression to those kind of customers?

I'm honestly not sure if I am too scared by these quick moves or if it's going to be a real problem for someone.

Yes, that's what concerns me. Since it's not really clear what's going on, how can we trust a third party service by uploading personal data?

Is this Ok to upload all your messages and your contacts to these services? I'm very worried about that, really

I was thinking to a 3D representation of a library or a zoomable interface. It could leverage our good spacial memory while also allowing accidental discovery of books

Sure you lose track, but it's so much easier with physical things to bump into already seen items and recognize them. Or also casually being interested by a cover or by the size of the books.

I feel like there could be a better way to handle lots of digital books/articles/songs/films/photos/etc

I'm very interested in visual ways to explore ebooks, papers, articles.

A physical library helps discovering new stuff or occasionally bumping in something. With files you need to be much more deliberate and I feel like you can accumulate a lot without really knowing what you have.

Even if this is a simple visualization it already gives ideas on how much more information you could convey with something similar. Like number of pages, color of the cover, to remind you of the book, different font, etc. A set of cues that can help you navigate in the list of books, at least I suspect :)
