Long time coming, but going to properly shut down discove.xyz Jan 1st; any remaining users, export your data/feed algo code that you want to keep. It costs too much to run & maintain, given nr of custom feeds it caches and given its hosted on vercel. Might relaunch at some point/could open source if enough interest

discove: - custom feeds can take up to 2 mins to run on SQL, can't let first user going to that feed in that time period get an uncached version, or they wait for 2 mins for the page to load. That's what just cloudflare edge cache would do - cache is stale (expires) in less than 5 mins (as chrono/algo social feeds are)

almost looks like you're subsidizing inefficient sql written by no-coders to the tune of 2k a month. that's 👀 about how easy it is to write expensive queries

I think this is still too charitable because operation costs are now a factor to discontinue an otherwise well-working product that has potential

🤷♂️ what dune does too, and is perfectly reasonable, but lots of work to maintain
