I’d rather say you can use skills to do RAG by supplying the right tools in the skill (“here’s how you query our database”).

Calling the skill system itself RAG is a bit of a stretch IMO, unless you end up with so many skills that their summaries can’t fit in the context and you have to search through them instead. ;)

All skills are RAG, a subset of skills can add more RAG.

What I've done in a project once is use Purchasing Power Parity: basically, there's an index for purchasing power, and you adjust your pricing based on that. It's implemented in some major payment platforms, like Gumroad: https://gumroad.com/help/article/327-purchasing-power-parity

Datastar author here, neat idea. Join the Discord and talk to us about how to implement. We're just a few guys and just don't have the cycles to explore every option for every facet of the project. Some of this is pure overhead

Oh wow, glad that somehow my idea of purchasing power is implemented by something like gumroad

I had checked literally everywhere including even thinking what if the devs publish it on steam or epic games but that would be weird and steam for example takes 30% cut

I had forgot to check out on gumroad but today I learnt something new thanks to you so thanks!

It seems that the dev of data-star have also commented on this and it would be lovely to see if they could implement this or any other ideas that I or the community is stated, it is nice to hear that they are taking feedback which is really nice!

Yeah, something like PPP seems to be the way to do it. But it seems non-trivial to implement in reality. Gumroad consequently charges 10% fees.

I think it is very unlikely that Datastar would implement something like this - but just as a matter of limited time, rather than lack of empathy with the situation.

Still, people are welcome to bring it up in their discord - perhaps they will actually do it!

And i say all of this as someone who lives in central america, and am building a nonprofit project for which i have zero funding assistance. I already bought the pro license (which is 60% of my monthly cost of living...), mostly just because i see huge value in it all and wanted to support them.

Thank you for sharing the youtube links in particular! It's nice to get some background info and intent for interesting libraries.

For Go, something like gomponents [0] or Templ [1] would fit that. (Disclaimer: I wrote gomponents.) I even have a Datastar integration now. [2]

Thanks - interesting! I was more thinking of a workflow where a designer makes a component in Figma, and it's probably polished and made available in a component library by a frontend/UI person, and it's probably a React component or a Web component. I was wondering whether that workflow was at all compatible with any of the non-JS backends that are reclaiming frontend a little.

And gomponents is great!

It's a frontend framework and a backend SDK in multiple languages, for SSE and more.

Agreed about the Postgres export!

For sqlite, I would recommend "sqlite3 app.db '.backup backup.db'" though, if that's an option. Guaranteed consistent!

Sure, you are correct! But I've already learned about pglite and sqlite-vector from the comments here alone. So if one reads the article AND the comments, I hope it's a net-positive for you, too, even if the article alone didn't give you anything.

And if not, I hope you didn't spend too long reading. :-)

Yeah, totally agreed. An embedded Postgres would be sweet (see pglite elsewhere here in the comments, looks interesting).

I am so tempted to benchmark some more… :D Would be great to get some numbers on this, super interesting.

Note: The last paragraph was about in production, not tests. :-)
