I previously arranged (by PMing everyone who mentioned it) a 5 Lobster meetup in Mexico. I'll be in NYC next week and think this could be nice.

Let me begin by explaining what it is: SchemaWright is a platform for learning database table design in a gamified way, with a real Postgres database running on your browser via WASM. It was heavily inspired by Duolingo and LeetCode, because I love the way how those platforms teach their users. I built and launched this a couple months ago, weeks after my first SaaS failed (that one was called NoteRaven, and the idea was for it to be a Notion + Medium + Udemy all in one platform; but after looking at how saturated that market was, I decided to move on). The story on how I came up with it is b…

tldr; Travelers wanted to find and book flights super fast in Claude, so we built this. -- BonBook started as flights via email because I was flying once a week in '24 and the UX got to me. Since then we've handled tens of thousands of requests for hundreds of travelers. The new MCP lets you search live flights with as little/much detail as you like, get options and then book without filling any forms. Points and status intact. All in ~35 seconds.

France had 1,331 (53%). 85% of the French ones ran software with known flaws, including 527 end-of-life AK-SM 800 units. Only 195 had every fix. Elsewhere it was 84%, so France had more of them online, not worse patching. 1,019 of the French addresses were already open on March 30. October 14 scan: 316 still online in France (−76%, against a normal 3–7% weekly…
