🔥 Why I chose Tauri instead of Electron 🔥
I'm now working on [Aptabase]https://github.com/aptabase/aptabase), an open-source and privacy-friendly analytics platform for desktop and mobile apps. It already has SDKs for various frameworks, including Tauri and Electron. By the way, the Tauri SDK is packaged as a Tauri Plugin! 😄

Which analytics to use?
Have a look at Aptabase ( https://github.com/aptabase/aptabase ) for an open source, minimalist, privacy friendly (doesn’t collect any identifier) and self hostable.
- New unity analytics pricing. Huge price increases coming in August

Site analytics for open source project?
It can be used in websites though, but it’s not really built specifically for that. It’s https://github.com/aptabase/aptabase in case you’re interested

Can I build single-page apps with core, like react pages without refreshing the site?
You can definitely build SPA with dotnet + React. I’m doing this on my OSS project if you want to take a look https://github.com/aptabase/aptabase

Mobile & Desktop App Analytics: 100% open source and privacy-friendly alternative to Firebase and Google Analytics for apps
Hey all, just wanted to share and get your feedback on what I've been working on recently. There's a bunch of privacy-friendly analytics for websites, to which some are open source. But when I was searching for one to use on my apps, I couldn't really find one that was both open source and focused on simplicity and being privacy-friendly. So I decided to build one! It's highly inspired on Plausible, but laser focused on mobile & desktop apps instead of websites. It was also built with GDPR in mind, so it doesn't collect any Device ID, User ID and does not do any sort of pseudonymisation. Everything is 100% anonymous and not linked to any user. It's very early stages, but it already supports 10 different frameworks such as Swift, Kotlin, Flutter, React Native, and many, many others! Everything is 100% available on GitHub. Website: https://aptabase.com/ Source Code: https://github.com/aptabase/aptabase I'm looking for app developers to get some feedback on it! There's a free tier on the cloud hosting, or you can also self host it
- mobile & desktop app analytics, open source and privacy-friendly

Ask HN: SQLite in Production?
I've been using SQLite/Litestream for https://extensionpay.com for about 3 years now! Serves about 120m requests per month (most of those are cached and don't hit the db), but it's been great!
I was convinced that SQLite could be a viable db option from this great post about it called Consider SQLite: https://blog.wesleyac.com/posts/consider-sqlite
Using SQLite with Litestream helped me to launch the site quickly without having to pay for or configure/manage a db server, especially when I didn't know if the site would make any money and didn't have any personal experience with running production databases. Litestream streams to blackblaze b2 for literally $0 per month which is great. I already had a backblaze account for personal backups and it was easy to just add b2 storage. I've never had to restore from backup so far.
There's a pleasing operational simplicity in this setup — one $14 DigitalOcean droplet serves my entire app (single-threaded still!) and it's been easy to scale vertically by just upgrading the server to the next tier when I started pushing the limits of a droplet (or doing some obvious SQLite config optimizations). DigitalOcean's "premium" intel and amd droplets use NVMe drives which seem to be especially good with SQLite.
One downside of using SQLite is that there's just not as much community knowledge about using and tuning it for web applications. For example, I'm using it with SvelteKit and there's not much written online about deploying multi-threaded SvelteKit apps with SQLite. Also, not many example configs to learn from. By far the biggest performance improvement I found was turning on memory mapping for SQLite.

Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2024 – Show and tell
I made a couple browser extensions that make over $500/month each. The key seems to be naming your extension after high-volume search terms and getting good reviews on the chrome store (and obviously having an extension that works well and solve a common problem on major websites). I monetized them with my own service, https://extensionpay.com. Feels so good to eat your own dog food :)

Standard Ebooks Serves Requests per Month with a 2GB VPS (2022)
Neat! I'm serving around 120m requests per month for https://extensionpay.com from a 2GB VPS running a single-threaded nodejs process and SQLite as the db. Most of the requests are cached, but still, it's amazing how far you can get with cheap hardware.

Ask HN: What are some easy ways to earn some side money?
I made https://extensionpay.com to monetize my own browser extensions and between that and free distribution on the extension stores it’s really easy to try making extensions that make money. So far devs have made over $300k with ExtensionPay. That said, it still take some skill to find a niche that works.

Many temptations of an open-source Chrome extension developer
Just want to put a plug in for https://extensionpay.com/ - I've used it in extensions in the past. It takes away the headache of setting up a backend for payment. They do take an extra 5%, but it's worth it especially. for smaller projects

I Built Vim for Google Docs
That's fair. Right now my payment processor (ExtensionPay) doesn't support multiple pricing tiers. However, in the future I'm considering rolling out my own logic so that I can provide a lifetime license option for some users.
