    I created this ORM to fill a gap in the Python ecosystem. Due to the nature of typing in Python there are no other Python ORMs that can provide correct type hints. Prisma Python manages to work around this by auto-generating python types. Aside from static type checking, providing type hints means that you will get autocomplete suggestions for you which for me is the killer feature for this ORM (see the GIF in the README for an example).

    We launched ZenStack V2(https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40205699) one year ago. It is built on Prisma, adding advanced features like access control, polymorphism, API/Hook generation, etc. But as we added more features, we felt more constrained by our foundation, Prisma(Check out the specific constraints here https://zenstack.dev/blog/next-chapter-1). Therefore, we made a bold decision for ZenStack V3 to reimplement the ORM part from scratch, keeping full compatibility with the Prisma schema and API. As a result, you could get the best of both…

    Hi HN, Today we’re launching PowerSync, a Postgres<>SQLite bi-directional sync engine that enables an offline-first app architecture. It currently supports Flutter, React Native and web (JavaScript) using Wasm SQLite in the browser, with more client SDKs on the way. Conrad and I (Ralf) have been working on our sync engine since 2009, originally as part of a full-stack app platform. That version of the system is still used in production worldwide and we’ve learnt a lot from its use cases and scaling. About a year ago we started on spinning off PowerSync as a standalone product that is…
