24 alternatives to One Billion Checkboxes

One Billion Checkboxes Change log: - 100000% more checkboxes - Cross platform universal check boxes (look good on any device) - Client side feedback animation (no optimistic updates) - Tab state - SQLITE storage (If your checkbox is checked it's been persisted to disk) No idea how well this will scale (if at all). Server is a shared VPS in germany and it's basically a billion rows in a sqlite database.

One Billion Checkboxes is a web application that provides one billion individual checkboxes for users to interact with. Each checkbox state is persisted to disk using SQLite storage, so checked boxes remain saved.

22 GB of Hacker News in SQLite▲730
Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite/wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it. Have Hacker News on your device. Go to this repo (https://github.com/DOSAYGO-STUDIO/HackerBook): you can download it. Big Query -> ETL -> npx serve docs - that's it. 20 years of HN arguments and beauty, can be yours forever. So they'll never die. Ever. It's the unkillable static archive of HN and it's…

Goqite, a persistent message queue Go library built on SQLite▲99
I wanted to build a persistent message queue based on SQLite, because that's what I'm using for my main state anyway. This gives me ACID across state and messaging, which is nice! I've been inspired by the terminology of AWS SQS for this, but it's obviously much simpler. Maybe you can use it too. :)

One Million and One Checkboxes. Running on Elixir and Mithril.js▲5
Hello! As soon as I saw eieio's https://onemillioncheckboxes.com/, I knew I wanted to try it out using Elixir. The original was created using Python and Redis (later Go and Redis) but this one is using just one Elixir server and HAProxy for SSL termination. It's also using S3 to show the overview page where all the checkboxes are drawn on a 1000x1000 canvas. The whole site is running on a 4 core 8 GB Hetzner VPS so I'm interested to see how it will hold up. This took an embarrassingly long amount of time to complete (the first commit was on July 23) but it was my first real…

Distributed SQLite on FoundationDB▲150
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.…

Stanchion – Column-oriented tables in SQLite▲273
Hello HN! I built stanchion to scratch my own itch. I have personal applications running on SQLite where I want to store log and metric data (basically forever) but don't want to add complexity by bringing in a new database or whole separate server. Some of these applications are running on a Raspberry Pi, where storage and compute are limited, but I still want data warehouse like capabilities. I envision stanchion being used in similar scenarios: on phones and resource-limited devices in applications that are already using SQLite. I know that there are alternatives like DuckDB (which is…

Sameshi – a ~1200 Elo chess engine that fits within 2KB▲230
I made a chess engine today, and made it fit within 2KB. I used a variant of MinMax called Negamax, with alpha beta pruning. For the board representation I have used a 120-cell "mailbox". I managed to squeeze in checkmate/stalemate in there, after trimming out some edge cases. I am a great fan of demoscene (computer art subculture) since middle school, and hence it was a ritual i had to perform. For estimating the Elo, I measured 240 automated games against Stockfish Elo levels (1320 to 1600) under fixed depth-5 and some constrained rules, using equal color distribution. Then converted…

Bitbox.co – Cloud Storage for Developers▲86
I've decided to bite the bullet and release Bitbox.co and get some feedback. I've been coding for years and one of the things I constantly see companies do is write and rewrite a document storage system, so I decided to write one for them. Bitbox.co uses cloud storage (currently Azure) to store documents but can be coded to use any cloud service. Documents can be public or private and URLs to that document can be used directly in HTML. There are currently a list of WebAPIs for developers to use as a tool, or build an entire system around. This is an MVP and it's simple. Upload a file, get a…

Show HN: Dzero – The fastest globally distributed SQLite database▲24
At JigsawStack.com, we are using Redis by Upstash to store and validate API keys among other datasets for speedy retrieval. As we scaled to more Asian markets and added replicated nodes, the cost started to shoot up while performance got a lot worse. I discovered hosting SQLite on Fly which was crazy fast & cheap with the full power of a relational database but difficult to use and scale without writing tons of code & devops. Then I found Turso as a managed service which is pretty cool but again got really expensive and had to manage a bunch of replications manually and pay per replications…

SQLite for Rivet Actors – one database per agent, tenant, or document▲45
Hey HN! We posted Rivet Actors here previously [1] as an open-source alternative to Cloudflare Durable Objects. Today we've released SQLite storage for actors (Apache 2.0). Every actor gets its own SQLite database. This means you can have millions of independent databases: one for each agent, tenant, user, or document. Useful for: - AI agents: per-agent DB for message history, state, embeddings - Multi-tenant SaaS: real per-tenant isolation, no RLS hacks - Collaborative documents: each document gets its own database with built-in multiplayer - Per-user databases: isolated, scales…

SNKV – SQLite's B-tree as a key-value store (C/C++ and Python bindings)▲36
SQLite has six layers: SQL parser → query planner → VDBE → B-tree → pager → OS. (https://sqlite.org/arch.html) For key-value workloads you only need the bottom three. SNKV cuts the top three layers and talks directly to SQLite's B-tree engine. No SQL strings. No query planner. No VM. Just put/get/delete on the same storage core that powers SQLite. Python: pip install snkv from snkv import KVStore with KVStore("mydb.db") as db: db["hello"] = "world" print(db["hello"]) # b"world" C/C++ (single-header, drop-in): #define SNKV_IMPLEMENTATION #include "snkv.h" KVStore…
