In plain words

FSQL is a development tool that lets users query their file system using SQL-like syntax. Instead of navigating folders or using traditional command-line commands, developers can write SQL-esque queries to search and retrieve files. It's designed for developers who want a more structured, database-like approach to file system searching. The tool is available on GitHub as an open-source project.

    Hi 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.
