Yes, let’s chat!

Curious around the thinking here, are you against permanently having records floating around with a deleted scope?

It doesn’t seem bad to me to have this marked on customer facing models and have a cleanup job that destroys these records after a week or whatever

Let’s go man! This looks awesome 😃

What 80/20 advice do you have for being preemptive with n + 1s?

“Would you still choose Ruby on Rails for a startup in 2025?”

Absolutely, this is exactly what I did for my startup.

Rails 8 + inertia + shadcn has given us the full modern monolith.

Would love to hear any stories from both sides, posting paid bounties and anyone that has completed bounties.

Reach out as well if you’re interested in doing some for us at scribesocial.ai!

Has anyone had success with bounties for 3rd party integrations for your app or API?

I’d love to start working with the community on getting both SDK integrations and no code integrations with systems like Make and Zapier going!

Super easy! I think the weirdest part was that I couldn’t get the default schemas to load correctly, but once I added the manual db migrations, it was as smooth as specifying the same connection string for each of those entries in the database.yml!

Agreed, I ended up consolidating to 1 for all the new Solid integrations.

For those using Inertia + Rails, since the routing here is still defined in the server controllers, it’s as easy as bundle add rack-mini-profiler to add SQL performance profiling to your app per page!

I have it set up to have profiling on prod for admins as well!

Congrats man! That’s awesome news 🎉

Yes! So many things to be grateful for here.

Decisions too, it’s so easy to second guess if you’re the only one there. Advise from the outside is helpful, but often being on the inside, you’re the one that knows best.

Having a co-founder on the inside to bounce back and forth with is invaluable

100%, put a follow up comment, but super grateful that I knew and have worked with one of my co-founders before and go to know the other before jumping into business.

Agree and have seen people struggle with finding co-founders.

Highly recommend joining communities and YC co-founder matching!

I know someone needs to hear this right now.

I’m fortunate to know one of my co-founders from back in college where we were hacking together, the other we met through the YC co-founder platform.

Go meet someone, in person or online.

Find someone you want to do life/ business together and go!

Get a co-founder. I see so many indie devs are one person business stories where they either get burnt out or would move so much faster with a co-founder.

Help fill the holes you are missing, have a partner to keep you motivated and shipping.

Your business will flourish. I’m so grateful for mine!

One thing I’m valuing the most on our founding team is that we have differing opinions.

Often, at least one of us offers a new perspective on the issue or opportunity.

It’s refreshing to have a founding team that is comfortable with this and ultimately it allows us to come to the best decisions.

Take every meeting with people that you can.

Seems counterproductive, maker schedule anyone?

But being able to connect with people that I know or want to has been amazing.

I’m a firm believer in having a breadth of knowledge and connections. Connecting dots later happens in unexpected ways

Any golden nuggets anyone’s found?

Is anyone using any Zapier or Make flows with LLMs as a core part of their business?

Would love to hear about any awesome examples you’ve seen!

I’m incredibly excited to be able to be completely full time on scribesocial.ai

Two days in, it has been incredibly freeing.

I have a long list of plans for the tech and marketing, but what I can ship per day has skyrocketed.

Reach out if you’re interested and I’d love to chat! 🚀

1 all day. Remove the fluff, get to the value for the customer

@jarekceborski.com btw webhook.cool is awesome! I was just using it the other day to test our callback URL feature 😃

On the contrary, a whole new world of products that weren’t possible before are now unlocked!

There were perceived walls on things that weren’t possible before that now are.

With scribesocial.ai for example, who thought that we could have mass videos being analyzed by AI?

Exciting times to me!

Don’t outsource what is a core part of your product is something that has always resonated with me.

This works in software and just life. I learned how to do electrical, basic rough framing, tiling etc because I know I’ll use it in the core of my life and kids.

Completely agree for one time thing

100% agree. Garry Tan has seen a ton of startups come through agrees that “creator led business are the future”!

Building scribesocial.ai, we’ve been working with multiple creator businesses where we’ve seen the success firsthand. Creator-led marketing is what consumers trust and is the future.

I know right, great last name you got there 😉

Absolutely awesome product man! Exactly what you need when you have kids

With Next, there are so many ways to handle it. I can use Redis, oh some people use Upstash, Vercel KV, wait Next headers are async now and what’s the middleware situation these days? Etc

With Rails I can simply add:
```
 rate_limit to: 10, within: 1.minute, only: :create
```
And keep on shipping

The completely separate views with React feel fantastic with Rails MVC, and my shipping speed has gone way up. I can just focus on the business logic.

Recent example, I’m building out our platform for scribesocial.ai, and I would want some sense of rate limiting on the open public APIs.

100% agree, I’ve split a lot between Next.js fullstack and Rails with Hotwire.

Rails helpers are great and stimulus was a good tool with trade offs.

But the ecosystem is so strong in React and honestly with Inertia, it’s felt way more like the “rails way”. Stimulus to me creates overengineering
