noosphere VS hugo-quick-start

Subconscious | Full-time | REMOTE - Hiring globally, current team is San Francisco, Washington D.C. and Brisbane

At Subconscious, we’re building new infrastructure for an internet of ideas.

Noosphere is a next generation network protocol; a worldwide content graph (no blockchain though).

Subconscious is a social note-taking app powered by Noosphere and AI.

Our founders are former browser engineers from Google and Mozilla. We are a small, funded team of four.

We're looking for a few more folks to help bring our work into the world. Specifically, we are hiring:

- DevOps: you should know the ins and outs of cloud infrastructure orchestration and its interplay with deployed applications and services

- Cryptography/Privacy: help us make strong guarantees about public and private information, and bring user legibility to content provenance and authority

Currently we have a CLI that demonstrates multi-device synchronization in principle. You can install it using `cargo install noosphere-cli` (it installs a binary called "orb"). We also have pre-built binaries of orb for x86_64 Linux that you can find on our releases on Github (e.g., https://github.com/subconsciousnetwork/noosphere/releases/ta...). We'll be expanding our pre-built binaries to include other platforms soon.

Also, we have recently released a Swift package that gives a path to easily install our project as a dependency in XCode. We're turning the corner on offering the same FFI backing implementation as a TypeScript + WASM package, too. But, as I mentioned it's early days for us, so set your expectations accordingly.

The best way to stay up to date with new things you can do is join our Discord. I make regular announcements there about our technical progress.

Plug: I'm working with the author on a decentralized protocol for networked thought and a companion browser called Subconscious. We're a very young project and just getting off the ground.

If you're interested in topics like the one in the article, all our work is open source and we love getting into it with folks on Github or our Discord (link in the README): https://github.com/subconsciousnetwork/noosphere

Next, we'll deploy our ecommerce website to Vercel (which is a great choice to host your Next.js website). Other hosting options include Netlify and Render.

1) Render.com currently offers postgres databases for $7 a month. The $7 instance is pretty weak as far as RAM and CPU, and their prices also get pretty unreasonable after that. However, this is a quick setup and cheaper alternative to Neon.

I use Cloudflare Serverless for front end apps and Render for backend services.

- Cloudflare [1] scales easily and has a lot of easy to use services like databases and storage buckets, JAM Stack front end pages, and CDN services for images and videos.

- Render [2] has been great for us to spin up Python services quickly. I haven't worked with a production load on Render, but I hear good things :)

The journey of deploying an open-source software platform like forem can be complex and daunting, but with the right tools and services, it can also be remarkably rewarding. This article details my experience deploying Forem, the software behind the Dev.to, on Render.com, deploying Promptzone.com.

Render.com — a pay-as-you-go cloud platform for deploying web applications of all kinds

Render is a cloud-based application hosting and database platform for building, deploying, and scaling applications with ease. It provides enterprise-grade data stores, automatic scaling, backups, and high availability, and it supports PostgreSQL databases.

Their status page says operational, but even their main website https://render.com is down

The main upside is cost-effectiveness, but managing VPS is still painful which can be solved with PaaS like Heroku, Render, or similar.

I opted for utilizing the free service provided by render.com to host both the Node.js Server (Colyseus) and the Vue.js web application (frontend).

Render is a platform for deploying applications built with diverse technologies such Node.js, Python, Ruby, Go. It also scales your application's resources up or down based on traffic demands.
