Build Local-First Apps(WASM+SQLite)
Hey, everyone! SkyAlt is a browser and SDK for Local-first applications at the top of SQLite files. One and half months ago, I started working on the idea of rebuilding some software as services I use into local-first apps. SkyAlt is a combination of SQLite(storage), WASM(app binary) and JSON(settings, communication). I decided to build my own 'browser', which has around ~10K LOC and has nothing to do with WebKit(HTML/CSS/JS) or Chromium. Apps use immediate mode GUI to draw and communicate with Skyalt. The layout is a flexible grid. Apps are written in the Go language. Right now…

Dropbase – Build internal web apps with just Python2023 · github.com · ▲207Hey HN, I’m Jimmy, co-founder of Dropbase (https://www.dropbase.io). We are an internal tools builder for Python developers. All you have to do is import any Python scripts/libraries, declare UI components, and layer app permissions so you can share them with others. We’re a middle ground between Airplane and Retool—simpler UI creation than Airplane, more code-centered than Retool. UI building is declarative and you can bind Python scripts/functions to UI components. You can write Python scripts/functions using our App Studio with support from a Python Language…

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…
