Looks awesome! I'm not sure if it would be one of your goals, but to me a killer piece of projects like this is realtime notifications. Supabase has something like this for Postgres.

There are an interesting number of options for SQL via HTTP and SQL via GraphQL popping up in general - some of these might have some features worth looking into.

PocketBase [1] provides realtime notifications and it works great (PocketBase is a single-binary self-hosted alternative to Supabase and uses SQLite internally)

Hi simjnd, Eventually Soul is following the same path that Pocketbase is going, the main difference is that Soul is written in Node.js while Pocketbase is writtern in Go. Considering the larger community of Javascript developers I decided to start Soul.

Hi Lucasycas, Thanks for your kind words. Real-time events / Websockets is definitely one of the must-have features for Soul. Right now I'm not sure how to approach it, but I welcome any contributions for it.
