Musoq – Query Anything with SQL Syntax (Git, C#, CSV, Can DBC)
Hey, For those of you who don't know my little tool Musoq, I wanted to introduce it as a small tool that allows you to query with SQL-like syntax without any database. It allows you to query various things from niche ones like CAN DBC files, weird ones like C# code, interesting ones with Git querying to regular stuff like CSV, TSV and various others. I am quite a bit experimenting with various things so I'm hybridizing the engine with LLMs or doing other weird stuff that are more or less practical :-) I wanted also to share some recent developments in this little project as I hope it might…

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…
