    I recently released v3 of Base, my SQLite editor for macOS. The goal of this app is to provide a comfortable native GUI for SQLite, without it turning into a massive IDE-style app. The coolest features are - That it can handle full altering of tables, which is quite finicky to do manually with SQLite. - It has a more detailed display of column constraints than most editors. Each constraint is shown as an icon if active, with full details available on clicking the icon. This update also adds support for attaching databases, which is a bit fiddly with macOS sandboxing. I'd love to hear any…

    Hi! I wanted to share an open source API-compatible replacement for SQS. It's written in Go, distributes as a single binary, and uses SQLite for underlying storage. I wrote this because I wanted a queue with all the bells and whistles - searching, scheduling into the future, observability, and rate limiting - all the things that many modern task queue systems have. But I didn't want to rewrite my app, which was already using SQS. And I was frustrated that many of the best solutions out there (BullMQ, Oban, Sidekiq) were language-specific. So I made an SQS-compatible replacement. All you have…

    Hi! As I was working on a side project, I noticed I wanted to use SQLite like a Document Database on the server. So I built Doculite. DocuLite lets you use SQLite like Firebase Firestore. It's written in Typescript and an adapter on top of sqlite3 and sqlite. Reasons: 1) Using an SQL Database meant having less flexibility and iterating slower. 2) Alternative, proven Document Databases only offered client/server support. 3) No network. Having SQLite server-side next to the application is extremely fast. 4) Replicating Firestore's API makes it easy to use. 5) Listeners and real-time…

    Hello everyone! I'm exited to share a NodeJS package I was working on for the past two months. The package is designed to simplify querying SQL databases through an array-like API. Qustar supports PostgreSQL, SQLite, MySQL, and MariaDB, and offers TypeScript support for a robust development experience. It's in early stage of development. I would like to hear your thoughts about it.

    I built a SQLite VFS in Rust that serves cold queries directly from S3 with sub-second performance, and often much faster. It’s called turbolite. It is experimental, buggy, and may corrupt data. I would not trust it with anything important yet. I wanted to explore whether object storage has gotten fast enough to support embedded databases over cloud storage. Filesystems reward tiny random reads and in-place mutation. S3 rewards fewer requests, bigger transfers, immutable objects, and aggressively parallel operations where bandwidth is often the real constraint. This was explicitly inspired…

    Hello HN! I’m happy to introduce SQLiteChangesetSync, a Swift package I’m sharing for the first time. It’s designed for offline-first synchronization of SQLite databases across devices. The package uses the SQLite Session Extension for capturing and committing changes in the local database. When the client is online, these changesets can then be pushed to a shared repository, which could be any server or database (example CloudKit implementation included). Other clients can fetch these changesets to keep their local databases consistent. SQLiteChangesetSync supports branch merging when…
