  Folks, in your launch posts remember to describe what you're launching and what it's for. Ideally in the opening paragraph.

  - Intro: Explains problem but not what is Neki or what it's for.

  - Why Neki: Explains alternatives and why they suck but not what is Neki or what it's for.

  - How does Neki work: Describes the technical components but not what is Neki or what it's for.

  - What you get beyond sharding: Explains how to run/deploy but not what is Neki or what it's for.

  - What is a platform preview + Try Neki today: 140 words on the definition of "preview" and links to get started... but not what is Neki or what it's for.

  Edit: The landing page has 100x more useful information up front -> https://neki.dev/

    Folks, your blog post sucks at marketing.

    Edit: your marketing site actually has excellent marketing information.

    The landing page which is linked at the start of the second sentence of this page…? I don’t completely disagree with you, but this is mostly hypertext working as intended, is it not?

  Neki is a sharded Postgres implementation. It introduces one level of indirection between the application and the Postgres shards.

  Found this from neki.dev.

  I am on a 12 Muni right now that is plastered with a Neki ad, and I looked up neki.dev luterally 10 mins ago to see what this product is about. Did they time the release of this bus ad with the launch date?

    Bus ads have been running for a little while now. A few billboards around too.

  Man, I was deep into this blog post before I was able to answer the question "what is Neki?".

    If I don't know what I'm reading about by the third or fourth phrase, I skip it. Empty language comes from empty minds and I don't have time for that.

    https://neki.dev/ is a much more terse overview of neki

  A C2 level diagram included in the blog post would be helpful. What are the drawbacks to using Neki aside from the obvious (new software has bugs)?

  What does this compete with? Google Cloud SQL?

  Site design is tight. I like it.
