Made it to Toronto for Consensus 2025. We'll be pitching Baselight on Thursday at 1630; come by if you're around! Can't promise much, but can promise 3 brilliant minutes from @elreydetent and a cool @baselightdb shirt (while stocks last!).

I was unlucky enough to be in Lisbon on Monday. Always fun when your demand floor vanishes. The power outage was not all that terrible. The fact that Vodafone's network went down immediately, preventing any kind of coordination with the rest of the family, was.

Yesterday, we released @baselightdb to the public. We wanted to go over our Linear and GitHub stats during our team recap, and what better way to dogfood our new data upload functionality? Love the sustained productivity; no crunch time here!

A pleasure to work with @yiannisbot and the Probelab team to enable analysis of unique blockchain and decentralised network data.

As I watched #LastWeekTonight, I couldn't help but wonder if we had cool data on tipping on @baselightdb. Only a small dataset, sadly, but enough for a surprise quiz! Q1: Do diners tip more on larger orders? Apparently not!

I did not set out to start a company. I left my previous job wanting to take a long break. Mere weeks into it, I found myself having lunch with @hmoniz and @diogomonica. On the table? A real problem and a real solution that was too good not to pursue. Skip to today, and @finisterralabs is announcing our seed with @haunventures and Lightshift.

Last week, we looked at how the inflation-adjusted cost of a 30-second Super Bowl skyrocketed over the years. But what about the ads themselves? They've been changing too. Let's fire up @baselightdb and start a 🧵

Super Bowl ads are a big deal. How big? BIG, with the cost per 30-second slot reaching $8,000,000 in 2025. But are they a good deal? Today, we look at the ROI using @baselightdb.

How do you choose where to live? Is safety a top concern? Do you like the sun? As I reflected on recent events, I logged on to @baselightdb and created the Safe n' Sunny Index for the most liveable cities. Not sure about that top 10, but Brussels ranking 127/140 checks out.

What would you do with the power of omniscience? If your first thought isn't "chart the spurious correlation between the 3M stock price and the number of new babies named rose", then what are you even doing? Yet that's only one of many things you can do on @BaselightDB.
