Now that the new
#telebugs version is out, I can focus on
#telesink.
The goal is to build an MVP that’s good enough to launch.
It doesn’t need to be pretty or complete, but it must do one thing well: display real-time events in a feed.
I’m still deciding on the tech stack. Rails is a no-brainer, but the database is trickier. As much as I’d like to use SQLite, my gut says PostgreSQL is the safer choice.
The reason is SaaS support. SQLite won’t scale well here, and ActiveRecord Tenanted being abandoned rules it out for me. If this were a self-hosted-first app like Telebugs, SQLite would be perfect. But it isn’t.

Dark mode is finished!
Not released yet, but the demo is live 👇
demo.telebugs.com
Adding dark mode to
#telebugs is a monumental task.
You have to tweak every nook and cranny and make sure everything still works together.
But it’s absolutely worth it - your app turns gorgeous at night and stops giving you a headache 😍
These new checkboxes are probably the sexiest thing I’ve designed so far. Absolute UI dopamine.

Small details matter. Testing this toast on the marketing site: it shows up as an error notification you might see in
#telebugs. Clicking it opens the public demo dashboard.
