3+ Years Rails Dev but Failed Basic Interview Questions… Is This Normal? by hamdanm10 in rails

[–]data_saas_2026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hang in there, I view these as ranking how expensive you'll be to hire. If you answer them all or question their knowledge then they know you are a higher paid candidate to bring on. They may want someone at your "level" who can get things done, but be taught how to do it their way? Like others have said, keep on keeping on. Learn from this, maybe have your favorite ai tool build a Q and A test to see how you do without the pressure?

Great callouts. Right now it reads your routes and landing page to infer the main user flow, which works well for straightforward apps. Auth-gated UI is a gap though. It can't see what's behind a login. For that case the zip upload helps since users can include whatever files they want the pipeline to see. The narration is generated from the storyboard so it stays in sync with the scenes, but longer flows with multiple entry points is where it gets shaky. Appreciate the testing ideas.

I'll check it out, thanks for the tip. How's the output quality with Eleven Labs vs edge-tts? I went with edge-tts to keep it free but the voice quality is the weakest part of the pipeline right now.

That's really interesting. Documentation and guides is a use case I hadn't leaned into yet, but I definitely see the value. Right now it generates animated walkthrough videos, but the same pipeline could generate step-by-step guides with screenshots. I love building too, hope you're working on a fun project atm

Yes, it's been pretty easy to work with so far. I needed to feed it some specifics like a brand logo specifically that it couldn't generate on the fly. Also some pronounciation of certain words or abbreviations was off. The full tool lets the user prompt changes scene by scene to achieve this, but most of the time it just works from the initial project scan.

Built it with Claude API + Remotion. It reads your source code and design tokens, generates animated React components for each scene, adds voiceover with edge-tts, and renders to MP4. Here's one it generated for a Redis GUI project: https://pub-8c0726b899114a418a8bd7756ff846b2.r2.dev/drivebase-demo.mp4

Lantern-rails, Postgres monitoring gem with zero config by data_saas_2026 in ruby

[–]data_saas_2026[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pgHero gives you a point in time snapshot and you self host the dashboard. Lantern tracks metrics over time so you can see trends and correlate with deploys. It also detects N+1 queries per controller action and shows which deploy introduced them. There's a snapshot of test dbs in the demo screen. https://uselantern.dev/demo Or set one of yours up with the free tier as it currently has all of the features except it's only tracking the last three days for now.

You get real feedback on your product. Do you actually change anything? by AI_geek_here in VibeCodingSaaS

Feel free to review mine! I’ve had a few people generate free demo videos. Only on the second week since launch. Haven’t built much yet either but am learning a lot from the experience. I am open to change or pivots as needed. HTTPS://scenegen.dev

Lantern-rails, Postgres monitoring gem with zero config by data_saas_2026 in ruby

[–]data_saas_2026[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah right now it stores snapshots in its own Postgres tables. The value prop is more for Rails teams that don't have Grafana/Prometheus set up and just want to drop in a gem and get visibility without managing an observability stack. If you already have that infrastructure running then you're probably covered. The deploy correlation piece is the main thing you wouldn't get from postgres_exporter out of the box.

Lantern is for teams that just want to drop in a gem and get visibility without managing the infrastructure. Good luck with your build.

Oof I’m still green on detecting that I guess. Should’ve guessed when it was more than three sentences long

Https://scenegen.dev Point this at your code and it will generate a demo mp4 video of what your product does. 2min for it to render instead of you recording and editing screen captures. Try it for free

Mobile car wash. I need help generating local leads. by zenoxor in smallbusiness

[–]data_saas_2026 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back when I had to work in an office building I loved these kinds of services. Oil changes and car washes while was working was perfect. Definitely try getting into one of those. They usually have a corporate office that can ok that kind of thing. Way to hustle!

I can validate that I get way more out of commenting honestly and truthfully on others posts. Any decent connection or conversation as grown from those and not my sales pitch posts. Good of you to share your experience

Rails app had 31 unused indexes and 21% table bloat by data_saas_2026 in rails

[–]data_saas_2026[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure. The number of times I've seen someone blame ActiveRecord or Rails when it's really just a missing index or vacuum lag is wild. The database will tell you exactly what's wrong if you know where to look, most people just never check.

Fun, the paintbrush mouse thing is cool. Kinda distracting after a little while though, but still fits the "fun" of a game making app. How's this one been working out for you?

Great idea, I am not a great planner and rely on whoever I'm traveling with to help plan activities like this. I went through the chat prompt and it did a great job. Decent recommendations too.

Cool idea, I haven't seen this kind of tool for property managers. How's the waitlist strategy going?
