PipeSQL – Building SQL queries bottom-up using pipes and filters
PipeSQL – Building SQL queries bottom-up using pipes and filters launched on October 9, 2014 with 36 votes and more than 75% of that year's launches.
In plain words
PipeSQL is a development tool that helps build SQL queries using a pipes-and-filters approach. Rather than writing queries from top-down, it constructs them bottom-up by chaining together modular components. The tool is designed for developers who prefer a compositional method to SQL query building, offering an alternative workflow to traditional query writing.

Pipelex – Declarative language for repeatable AI workflowsOct 2025 · github.com · ▲122We’re Robin, Louis, and Thomas. Pipelex is a DSL and a Python runtime for repeatable AI workflows. Think Dockerfile/SQL for multi-step LLM pipelines: you declare steps and interfaces; any model/provider can fill them. Why this instead of yet another workflow builder? - Declarative, not glue code: you state what to do; the runtime figures out how. - Agent-first: each step carries natural-language context (purpose, inputs/outputs with meaning) so LLMs can follow, audit, and optimize. Our MCP server enables agents to run pipelines but also to build new pipelines on demand. - Open…
SnapQL – Desktop app to query Postgres with AI2025 · github.com · ▲104SnapQL is an open-source desktop app (built with Electron) that lets you query your Postgres database using natural language. It’s schema-aware, so you don’t need to copy-paste your schema or write complex SQL by hand. Everything runs locally — your OpenAI API key, your data, and your queries — so it's secure and private. Just connect your DB, describe what you want, and SnapQL writes and runs the SQL for you.

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…
