Our Postgres database was performing so freaking slow when trying to load our stats page in real time, so we migrated our biggest queries to Clickhouse.
The results have been outstanding. When comparing the two queries:
Postgres: 14.73 seconds 🤮
Clickhouse: 0.095 seconds 🤩
Finally able to agree with
@t3dotgg
and
@ThePrimeagen
that Rails + HTMX is the future of web development 🤩
Looking forward to seeing their Rails apps in their next videos 🙌🔥
#RailsWorld
was amazing.
Shipping with Rails is a cheat code. You can build product insanely fast.
It has been the backbone of Whop's growth, and it seems to be scaling just fine ;)
S/O the legends

We’ve been hosting our email images on a random CDN for two years. Horrible idea.
Please learn from our mistake & don't do this. All our emails broke today. Host your own images 🙏

We gave away 40 different Ruby Gems as party favors.
This pic was taken before the box went up in flames. 'twas lit.
So excited to finally release the Whop App Store.
The App Store allows developers to build web apps and embed them straight into the Whop platform for sellers to directly install.
This means you can sell literally anything on Whop.
About to take over the internet... ⏱️

This year, in the spirit of the holidays, I decided to give back...
...to our codebase.
Today, I deleted 4000 lines and dropped 11 tables.
Go help your local community. Give back.
Happy holidays y'all 🎅
Thank you
@inazarova
for sharing our story ❤️
Cat's out of the bag...
@WhopIO
still uses the old, archaic framework of Ruby on Rails. And that's why we ship faster than everyone else 🤷♂️
This squad is about to make a whole lot of people a whole lot of money.
We just moved to a fucking disgusting office.
If you thought our last one is cool, I hope you like cold plunges, saunas, guitars, pianos, and podcast studios — all under the same roof.
The beginning of my programming journey was creating sneaker botting software with my now Whop co-founders

&

Throw back to the days when Cameron was the Pablo Escobar of sneaker botting.
Here's one of our first convos from 2015. The rest was history...

Please message me a product you have built and what your favorite app is if you are available for work.
Great meeting up with
@JedPattersonn
today to go over how we can blow up the Whop App Store. The App Store will allow developers to build features and sell them instantly to 3000+ sellers on Whop
Team has been working way too hard to not highlight this.
We’re about to change the landscape of how people build, spend their time, and prosper on the internet.
Building something that the 14 year old me would drool over…
LETS GET IT
Had an amazing time at
#RailsWorld
I'm on a mission to unite the 𝕏 WebDev space, so
@nextjs
conf is up next
Who's going to be at
@nextjs
conf this week?
Really excited for our new infrastructure:
We will be migrating to elastic beanstalk and launching our kubernetes cluster tonight. We'll then move our gql api to a serverless pub sub model that strictly feeds data into a nosql document store. Powered by redis
This is facts. Shoutout to the entire fckn team. We plotted the vision for Whop 3 in August and worked tirelessly over the past 3 months to turn it into a reality. I AM SO EXCITED FOR THE FUTURE.
#Whop3
**new experiment**
i bought this domain name tonight
i think the most successful people in the world have historically upset their parents when they were young.
whether that was Mark Zuckerberg who was put on academic probation at Harvard and later
Whop 3 launch is making me feel the 🔥 and passion of development again.
Just came out of a 3 day deep dive into AWS 🤿. Resurfaced with an infinitely* scalable distributed backend api for a chat service.
I feel too powerful rn.
28 days to go!!
Paging all

If you process $1,000,000,000 on
@WhopIO
, we buy you a Private Jet.
At $500, we handwrite you a card.
Also many prizes in between...
Why?
Because we want to make sure that you know how possible it is to make money on the internet.
Future billionaires, say what up 👋
I wish there was an easy way to inspect server-side requests from Next.js. I need a server-side network tab...
It's very hard to debug requests that are made from our Next server to our Rails API. Any good solutions out there?
Our first NYC Next.js meetup was incredible. Massive turnout & vibes were off the charts.
Big shoutout to
@jantschulev
for sharing the story of how we launched the Whop marketplace using Next 13 App Router. It has been a wild ride...
Check out his talk below 🎬
Had a fantastic time sharing how we
@WhopIO
migrated to RSCs on Next 13 last night at the
#ReactSummit
NextJS meetup.
One word: middleware.ts
Loved everyone's questions - keep 'em coming
So you can only download
@cashapp
in the US and the UK.
One of our core engineers is in Berlin.
We're trying to add CashApp pay via
@stripe
, but he can't download CashApp. So now I'm screen sharing my phone so he can test his code.
This is a whole new level of pair programming
Great developer: Simple solution and can explain it very well
Good developer: Simple solution, but has trouble explaining it
Bad developer: complicated solution
If your solution is complex, think bigger. There's always a simple solution staring you in the face
Everything was working great, until today, when Discord deleted all these images from their servers.
Now, every email being sent out was full of broken images. They looked like a 2008 word document.
To any Rails Devs, here's a sick ass script that will find any columns in your DB schema that are missing proper foreign keys. This will help clean dirty data and find orphaned rows 😏
When we first made our HTML email templates in 2022, our team was moving quickly and chatting on Discord nonstop.
While building the templates, you constantly need to convert your image files to a link. So, we would throw the files in Discord and copy the link. Easy.
Coming soon to app developers on
@WhopIO
🔜
You: Upload files in 10 lines of code.
We: Manage read write and delete permissions, store and organize files, abstract away backend complexity...
🚀 expect blazingly fast development times 🚀
