24 alternatives to MVP done, now what?
I've spent about the past 6 months or so working on what I think of as 'database as a service'. Essentially hosted Sqlite with CORS support so users can post from anywhere, and execute queries saved on the backend. One of the things I'm going for is a completely in browser development experience, so there's nothing to install, the user simply uses the UI to create and edit queries and admin their database. One of the most basic uses would be posting form data from a static HTML page: https://www.lite-engine.com/blog/post_form.html I've posted it here before and didn't get…

It can create invoices and receive payments. Not quite production ready, yet. Only need PostgreSQL installed to try. I will add support to choose SQLite when they add native support for geography types.

Hello HN! I've found my SQL knowledge to be lacking, so I made a project that uses SQLite as a backend. As it is intended for self-hosting I aim to make it easy to set up and maintain. Getting it up & running takes no more than a few commands (bar setting up a proxy such as nginx, which is out of scope). I've set up a "demo" site at https://forum.agreper.com/ if you want to try out the UI.

Hello HN! I'm building mvsqlite, a distributed variant of SQLite with MVCC transactions, that runs on FoundationDB. It is a drop-in replacement that just needs an `LD_PRELOAD` for existing applications using SQLite. I made this because Blueboat (https://github.com/losfair/blueboat) needs a native SQL interface to persistent data. Apparently, just providing a transactional key-value store isn’t enough - it is more easy and efficient to build complex business logic on an SQL database, and it seems necessary to bring a self-hostable distributed SQL DB onto the platform.…

Hey everyone! It’s a single executable that you can run on your server using Docker, Systemd, or any other tool you prefer. It provides a simple user-friendly interface to manage all your SQLite databases. Inspired by PhpLiteAdmin, it features a snappy UI and offers power-user functionalities, ability to chat with your database using natural language via OpenAI api, and other features. It’s free to use, with an option for a one-time payment to unlock all features. You can find the demo at https://demo.litequeen.com/ It's early and there's much to add. Some features I think…

I built this after launching a blog site with Hugo and wanting a simple solution for adding support for upvotes and downvotes on posts. For the database, I was initially leaning towards using a key-value database like LevelDB to store the votes but chose SQLite because it has widespread support and gives me the ability to add other features later (e.g. comments).

Please check out out project, Lite Engine[1], a Backend as a Service web application platform. We provide everything you need to rapidly prototype and deploy your single page applications: static file hosting for your html, css, javascript and other assets, a subdomain on our site, security with https, and a 'create your own API' with SQL over CORS and JSON. I think of this as "geocities with a CORS backend". For your backend we've developed a system we call API Queries. You'll define SQL queries, save them on the backend, then execute them with http post requests that return JSON responses.…

Hi HN, I came up with the idea for PostOwl about ten years ago! Today I can finally share it with the world. A huge thank you to Michael Aufreiter who wrote most of the code and inspired the editing interface with his editable.webite PostOwl is open-source and there are docs for deploying your own site for free. Give it a spin and let us know what you think!

db-ui▲12Hey! I needed a simple to use self-hosted web ui for managing db data. pgadmin is pretty complicated, adminer is pretty old-looking. Also, the stuff I need to do often feels doable by AI so I would like to have it integrated too. So I created my own. Currently works with postgres only (as this is the only DB I use) and connects to groq (they've a free plan and I didn't look further), not against adding alternatives if there's some demand for it. Dockerized, also pretty simple to run from source (implemented as a next.js app).

Hi! I wanted to understand more about databases' internals so I wrote one from scratch. It has a T-SQL inspired syntax with support for functions and procedures. It can be used stand-alone as a SQL engine or with a server allowing for persistence and replication to other connected clients. Performance are nothing near sqlite of course but that's beside the point. It’s a small database engine that can run in a web app as a way to store session data, do small calculations on a web worker, store the document/data the user is editing or facilitate “multiplayer” feature by broadcasting the…
