Linked QL – a "magic wand" query client for your database
Hey #SQL and #js people, I'm stoked to introduce Linked QL - a “magic wand” query client for your database that simplifies how you query data and manage your schemas. If you've worked with structured data on a real world project, then chances are that you've also had a hair-pulling experience figuring out relational queries, managing schemas and coordinating dozens of migration files. You also may have had to move from a tool like Prisma to one like Drizzle in search of sanity, and then realise that this too inherits everything that makes an ORM and ORM! I am writing Linked QL to be…

In the maker’s words, at launch
Hey #SQL and #js people, I'm stoked to introduce Linked QL - a “magic wand” query client for your database that simplifies how you query data and manage your schemas. If you've worked with structured data on a real world project, then chances are that you've also had a hair-pulling experience figuring out relational queries, managing schemas and coordinating dozens of migration files. You also may have had to move from a tool like Prisma to one like Drizzle in search of sanity, and then realise that this too inherits everything that makes an ORM and ORM! I am writing Linked QL to be everything I've ever wished for in a database access layer. We're proudly introducing: 1. a whole new syntax extension to SQL that gives you magic path operators for your relational queries (in place of the regular ORM) 2. a powerful little addition to your database that gives you automatic database versioning and a whole new migrations experience You’ll probably love a modern and simplistic take on SQL and databases in general! I'll be more than glad to have your feedback on this work, ahead of our launch in a few days.

Hey there HN! We’re Joe and Stopa, and today we’re open sourcing InstantDB, a client-side database that makes it easy to build real-time and collaborative apps like Notion and Figma. Building modern apps these days involves a lot of schleps. For a basic CRUD app you need to spin up servers, wire up endpoints, integrate auth, add permissions, and then marshal data from the backend to the frontend and back again. If you want to deliver a buttery smooth user experience, you’ll need to add optimistic updates and rollbacks. We do these steps over and over for every feature we build, which can…
