  MotherDuck – a serverless data analytics platform powered by DuckDB2023 · ▲17

  Hi folks.. Co-founder and Head of Produck at MotherDuck. We're building a new type of analytics data platform based on an exciting open source project DuckDB! We just launched today, so please head over to our website and request an invite[0]! When we first started MotherDuck a little over a year ago, we realized that the modern data platforms like BigQuery and Snowflake are of exceptional quality. They're also very mature, packing diverse set of features across a variety of use cases. So it doesn't seem like a good idea to go and compete with them... But then we found DuckDB. DuckDB changes…

  I started working on my ideas a few months ago. I've shipped 4 apps so far. I love my numbers, so every morning I'd go through the payments dashboard, analytics, bug reports, feature requests, and everything else for each app. I wished for a single place to view it all, so I built Motherboard. It runs locally in the browser and tracks any visible data point from any website with just a click. A single dashboard for everything. Life's good.

  MyDuck Server – Supercharge MySQL and Postgres Analytics with DuckDB2024 · github.com · ▲32

  Hello HN! We're excited to announce MyDuck Server, an open-source project that seamlessly integrates the analytical power of DuckDB with your existing MySQL & Postgres databases. *Backstory* Currently, there are no fully satisfactory open-source OLAP solutions for MySQL & Postgres. In the MySQL ecosystem, HeatWave offers close integration, but it's a proprietary, commercial product from Oracle. The Postgres community has seen promising DuckDB-based extensions emerge, including the official pg_duckdb. However, extensions can introduce isolation concerns in mission-critical environments.…

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
