Hi, I definitely take a look into it to take some inspirations! Thanks for your comment.

Hi didip, Yeah, You're completely right, obviously rqlite is a very mature project and the comparison does not make any sense at this point!

Projects like Soul are a REST API wrapper around databases to allow devs easily start their projects without being so much concerned about doing backend stuff.

Hi Bbkane, Thanks for your recommendations, I'll check it out!

Hi Toastal, Exactly, PostgREST is one of the best ones out there.

Hi Aeolun, Thanks for your comment.

Hi anaganisk, Thanks for your comment, I just mentioned fronted devs as an example but I'm not sure why you consider them as the last people?

Thanks a lot, I'll definitely check it out.

Yeah it's reasonable.

Hi aaviator, Thanks for your recommendation, I'll make sure to check it out.

Yeah Pocketbase is one of my main inspirations. I admire it a lot and the reason I started Soul, is because I think Javascript / Node.js could potentially be a better language to approach it as it's more popular than Go and for example to a huge community of Front-end developers it would be easier to adopt as they are already familiar with it.

Thanks feldrim, I'll give it a high priority for sure. Also thanks for the rqlite, I'll make sure to check it out.

Thanks gl9, I'll respond to your email asap.

Thanks Mongol, Yeah exactly I should create a wiki for it.

Exactly, more generally I'm thinking of a way for Soul to be extendable via plugins, which one of the most important one is authentication / authorization and permissions level.

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.

Hi le-mark, as I mentioned Soul is really young and I just started to work on it. For now my goal is to create a decent prototype out of it and when the concept is matured enough, we can go towards performance. There's no benchmark done yet, but I invite you to talk more about the things you think is important to consider.

Hi everyone, for the last couple of weeks I started to work on Soul, which a SQLite RESTful server. Basically it takes an SQLite file and create CRUD endpoints for it. Right now it consists of Soul CLI and Soul Studio (Which studio is at the early stages of development). Studio is going to be GUI for soul that let's users to work with their database in a graphical way.

Eventually I want Soul to be a simple backend-as-a-service that people can use it to quickly start their ideas.

Please let me know if you have any ideas to improve Soul, or how it'll become useful for your project.

Currently it only works on desktop, but I'm working on it to add the mobile-support soon. I'll let you know here when it's ready.

Hello HN, The other day I was thinking it would be nice to have a thing that captures everything while your typing, every flaws, every deleting and re-writing, every pauses and ...

Demo: https://bukowski-typewriter.netlify.app/

So I created a little prototype and named it Bukowski. I'm thinking to add a feature to export the animated text as a video or GIF or another feature to add background for the text.

Please let me know what you think, or if you have any recommendation for it. Here's a link to the repo: https://github.com/thevahidal/bukowski
