Storex – A modular and portable database abstraction for JavaScript

In plain words

Storex is a database abstraction layer for JavaScript that lets developers write database code once and use it across client and server environments. It supports multiple databases including in-browser options, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Firebase through modular packages for common tasks like schema migrations. Developers can build and test applications entirely in the browser before migrating to production databases.

In the maker’s words, at launch

We'd like to show you Storex, a database abstraction layer that allows you to move your database interaction code between client- and server-side. By surrounding it with modular, recombinable packages for common problems such as schema migrations, it's possible to re-use logic touching the database across a wide…

  YourNextStore – an open-source Shopify with Stripe as the back end2024 · github.com · ▲285

  We’re building Your Next Store, a modern, ultra-fast, open-source commerce in Next.js with Stripe as the backend - no DB required. Selling online is often more complex than it needs to be. Setting up a storefront with great performance can feel daunting and time-consuming. There are many plugins, libraries, etc - the choice can be overwhelming. Plus, in e-commerce, the backend and frontend are often written in different languages (e.g., PHP, Python, or Ruby for the backend). This increases the complexity and makes code management more challenging, especially for teams. After working in…

  htmgo - build simple and scalable systems with golang + htmx2024 · htmgo.dev · ▲166

  Hey all, I just wanted to share a project I've been working on for the past month. After years of heavy frameworks, I really like the idea of using htmx, but it’s a little too low level for me and needs a thin layer above it to facilitate things like components, better syntax with complex JS inside of an attribute, etc To try and solve this problem with a very minimal stack (golang + htmx) that I've been really enjoying, I'm building this project to cater to my needs and was thinking it would be useful for other developers.

  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. 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…
