Remix is a social platform for _apps_. Facebook has _text_, Instagram has _images_, TikTok has _video_... Remix has apps.

Apps. Not code.

View your friend's apps, use your friend's apps, remix your friend's apps to suit your needs.

All with speech. End-to-end abstracts away the concept of code. Speech-to-App.

Who's in?

Why is modern web architecture optimized for "writes" (anything can cheaply write to the database) instead of reads (must build the world on every request, while the user waits)?

There are obvious answers (like it is easier), but for a technology as dominant as the web, these are surprisingly superficial.

An analogous example is indexes in database technologies. They add a lot of implementation complexity, but are paramount for optimizing for "reads". What would a web framework look like that optimizes for "reads" instead of "writes"?

In light of the ongoing conversation[0][1] on the difficulties of finding quality product reviews, I wanted to ask for feedback on the approach of an app I've nearly finished which seeks to solve this problem.

It's called the Kujo App: https://app.kujo.com/

The premise is to use social trust on a platform built for recommendations.

The landing page breaks down its use, compares to existing solutions, highlights strategic vision, and business model.

It's currently in private Beta, but I'd love feedback on the approach! If you wanted to join the waitlist for the next wave, that'd be alright too

It seems to work for Amazon, Shopify stores, etc - but not my little custom e-commerce store, and would love to know what I need to do to integrate with it.

Put conversely, HN trending are often tech tangentals of a heterodox zeitgeist.
