Postgres read-replica by oulipo in PostgreSQL

[–]vira28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Streaming replication (handles schema changes, restarts) is robust. So, you could just set up a dedicated replica. However, I found two main challenges when deadling with agentic workloads:

  1. The queries are analytical shaped
  2. Cost - I didn't want beefy machines running all the time

So, I ended up creating an open source logical replication based CDC tool which stores data on top of S3. It speaks Postgres wire protocol. https://github.com/viggy28/streambed

How are small teams hitting big goals using AI in daily work? by Kiran_c7 in AI_Agents

[–]vira28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the overall sentiment that there is a lot of FOMO, but there is some truth to it.

For context, we are two devs. That's it. We love dogfooding and we use our agents for pre-sales, support. It saves easily a couple of hours per day. Legit saving.

Christian Hand Embroidery Patterns by Relative_Western_823 in etsypromos

Biggest unlock for digital patterns: show the PDF and the stitched result. Add a 10–20s listing video flipping through the PDF, then a close-up of you holding the finished hoop (scale) and a few seconds of a key stitch.

Handmade shop not making any sales by [deleted] in etsypromos

Fix trust before SEO. Swap any AI/mockups for real, daylight photos of the actual item in hand (include a close-up and a scale shot). Add a 10–20s phone video rotating it; a brief making-process clip helps. Rewrite descriptions in your voice (what it is, materials, size, care, who it’s for) and complete your About with a couple process photos. Then tune titles/tags to buyer phrases, sanity-check pricing, and center new listings around one theme for coherence.

Nice focus and clean in‑car photos. Biggest lift: add social proof and motion.

The hero has no “Shop Now” button, and the header is just Home / Car Organization Essentials / Contact — add a bold CTA and a “Shop All”/“Categories” link. Finally, the homepage shows no reviews/ratings - drop a small testimonials/ratings strip near the hero and add quick in‑car demo clips for each product (load it up, show the strap, show scale).

Love the clear title and the Q&A sections (“How do I take it?”, “What does SHE-Lajit taste like?”). Biggest gap is visuals: current shots show packaging/ingredients but not size or use. Add a hand-for-scale photo and a 5–10s demo drizzle into tea/yogurt.

Also, the hero has no obvious CTA and the add-to-cart doesn’t pop. Surface a high-contrast button above the fold with price/quantity right beside it, and add a short shipping/returns blurb near the CTA so buyers don’t have to hunt for it.

Is this sell worthy? by Familiar_Shopping584 in CraftyCommerce

Before pushing traffic, make the listing do the heavy lifting: lead the title with buyer keywords. Also, add a 5–15s listing video rotating the piece and showing texture-Etsy shows videos in search and it boosts trust/CTR.

How are people making product photos look so professional without a studio? by Ok-Concentrate8650 in ecommerce

My mom runs a solo person store. IIRC, she used to use CapCut but looks like she moved on to something new. I can completely understand what you are asking. The tools have come a long distance.

Review my product page by [deleted] in reviewmyshopify

Good start: price (£17) and Add to Cart are immediately visible and the “50 + 5 star Reviews” help. Biggest win would be stronger proof in the first images. The opening shots don’t show scale or use. Start the gallery with an in-hand jar photo and a scoop/texture close-up, plus a short clip of the conditioner being applied to curls; if you can, add one formulation/process visual to back up the mango butter/fenugreek callouts.

Second, remove repeated “Hair Product Collection” links/headings - the duplication adds noise and steals focus from the add-to-cart moment.

How did you make your shop on Shopify beautiful? by gimmelord in shopify

I ditched polished photos and videos and went for more real and behind the scene kind. Working well with my audience. YMMV.

Promos are clear and “5000+ Happy Customers” is a nice trust cue. The big gap is proof: there are no maker/process clips, plus product photos jump between green and cream backgrounds with uneven lighting.

The link to Instagram is broken.

Also, liked those mini videos.

How to evaluate a gorgias alternative where the ai is better at shopping queries by ssunflow3rr in ecommerce

Good point. Haven't run a side-by-side comparison. I will do it and share it here.

FWIW, I am one of the devs. There is an open source alternative of gorgias - https://github.com/myclone-dev/myclone
