I remember DivJoy 1.0 and wow you have come a long way! Looking forward to seeing where this project ends up in a few years. A couple of questions/comments:

1) postgres is critical but I saw in another comment you were already on that

2) where are the big boys under hosting? I had an imposter syndrome moment when I clicked on that drop down because I didn’t recognize a single name on it...I’ve been at this for almost 20 years now. AWS, Azure, DigitalOcean, and Heroku were some of the things I would have expected.

3) anyway to see a sample code base without paying? I’m not sure how that would work as I don’t know how you can do it without also enabling people to take your work without paying but it’s a non starter for me. I’m probably not your target audience though so take this request with a grain of salt.

Congrats on shipping and best of luck with the product!

Edit: I went back and noticed to hosting options are all serverless so not surprising a crusty old Rails guys wouldn’t recognize them.




Hosting: Yeah I really need to expand those hosting options. It was one of those things I expected to do much sooner, but didn't end up getting as many requests for hosts as I expected (at least compared to other features). That's changing a bit now now that Divjoy gives you something a bit more advanced. That attracts customers with more complex needs and, it would seem, more opinions around hosting. Firebase Hosting and Heroku are up next. Probably AWS after that.

Previewing code: Happy to send over an example codebase if you shoot an email to hello@divjoy.com :) I'm going to be rolling out a code preview so customers can explore what their code will look like when exported. Plan is to let non-customers browse at least some it it.. or maybe just view half of each file.. or maybe I'm overthinking it and I should just let everyone see the code and emphasize they aren't legally licensed to use it. Anyway, definitely something I've been thinking about.
