alt Hacker NewsCongrats on the launch!
InstantDB is a joy to work with. Granted, I've only ever built small toy projects with it, but it's my go-to. Just so much simpler than anything else I've tried in this space.
The core product is so good that the AI emphasis feels weird. Hopefully that's just marketing and not a pivot. Unfortunate if that's what it takes to get funding these days.

Thank you for the kind words.

It's not quite marketing or a pivot. We've just noticed that most of our users are coding with AI, and really optimized for that too.
Thank you!

Back then most folks weren't building full-on apps with AI yet.
Since then we've seen a large number of people find us through content on creating apps with AI. We felt our previous messaging didn't speak to that and we thought it was time for a refresh.
We also invested a lot to make the agent experience with Instant a delight!
