Oxyde – Pydantic-native async ORM with a Rust coreMar 2026 · github.com · ▲155Hi HN! I built Oxyde because I was tired of duplicating my models. If you use FastAPI, you know the drill. You define Pydantic models for your API, then define separate ORM models for your database, then write converters between them. SQLModel tries to fix this but it's still SQLAlchemy underneath. Tortoise gives you a nice Django-style API but its own model system. Django ORM is great but welded to the framework. I wanted something simple: your Pydantic model IS your database model. One class, full validation on input and output, native type hints, zero duplication. The query API is…

EnrichMCP – A Python ORM for Agents2025 · github.com · ▲133I've been working with the Featureform team on their new open-source project, [EnrichMCP][1], a Python ORM framework that helps AI agents understand and interact with your data in a structured, semantic way. EnrichMCP is built on top of [MCP][2] and acts like an ORM, but for agents instead of humans. You define your data model using SQLAlchemy, APIs, or custom logic, and EnrichMCP turns it into a type-safe, introspectable interface that agents can discover, traverse, and invoke. It auto-generates tools from your models, validates all I/O with Pydantic, handles relationships, and…

Talanoa▲343Hi 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…
