BSON Extension for SQLite
sqlite is, well, everywhere. It's a little shy on high-fidelity types, though, esp no dates and penny-precise numbers. And carrying rich shapes in JSON doesn't really help because JSON lacks those too. BSON supports these types but more importantly is a data carrier external to the database; you can fluidly move BSON in and out of sqlite without creating your own binary representations; just use the BSON SDK for your environment. Upwards of 20 languages are supported. The BSON extension is designed to exploit sqlite built-in JSON functions as desired.
BSON Extension for SQLite launched on February 3, 2024 with 8 votes, #1,589 of 3,962 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.

Stanchion – Column-oriented tables in SQLite2024 · github.com · ▲273Hello 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…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
