Could this also be implemented as an ORM DSL to interface traditional SQL databases?

Yes, the price seems to be way too high.

Sure, it’s nicely produced and marketed but maybe it is over-produced for its value proposition?

Hey.. So happens that I’ve been doing a very similar work for the past few months. I can take a look and help you define what “commercial-grade” design and code should look like.

Youtube has a bunch of simple and free UX and UI courses.

You might also want to search more specifically for information architecture, designing website navigation, picking a color scheme, basics of web fonts, designing forms, and UX user research.

I guess I could offer a few thoughts here, as I’ve been thinking about this for a while.

You say it’s for personal projects but if you care about marketing then I’m going to guess the projects are serious/ambitious enough.

In that case, as you build them, you’d probably first need to do some “marketing strategy” early on, then naming and branding, then some growth marketing/product design, then see how you would incorporate different types of analytics into the projects, then finally there would be a launch and running some campaigns and using the analytics methodically.

I’d say anything less than that would not really be any kind of methodical marketing. But people do get lucky with word of mouth sometimes.

So, basically, you could probably use a good amount of modern marketing skills.

The internet is, of course, full of options but it’s hard to filter through them.

Based on my watching this space for about 10 years, most of the one-person shops and small teams that do SEO and Wordpress websites will know very little about those things you’d need.

Maybe 1% of medium and large firms out there will work with that stuff in SaaS space but then they would likely be way too expensive for personal projects.

Which leaves you with two options IMHO, 1) to learn that stuff yourself (the path I took), or 2) to find a marketing/product/growth cofounder/advisor/consultant that has experiences in that niche, such as SaaS, for example.

Good luck

You could try posting this question on the official AWS forum https://repost.aws/

I think there are already some Git SDKs out there. For example https://github.com/go-git/go-git

I wonder how many people would love to see you outsource a bunch of terraform/bash/dockerfile scripts for it

To me, “Acres of Diamonds” is one of those.

+1. In the US it’s either a quote or an estimate.

Which really depends on the industry and the business owner so the word you use should be configurable per account.

Similar to how different businesses use different words such as customer, client, patient, guest, patron, etc.

So, here is a crazy thought:

This basically looks like a list with votes and comments.

Why not pivot it into a generic service for creating such lists?

Haha, I remember those times when I would do that to save cool links for later. Good times. :)

Then, they made Pocket [1].

The real question is what comes after Pocket?

By index encoding I just mean putting “encoded” values into the indexed column of your table. Something like this: “city:department:sku”.

This technique is a bit advanced, borrowed from hierarchical databases, and optimizes for specific queries known upfront, so it’s cool but not very flexible. There is a lot more to making it work. You can watch [1], if interested.

But I’d also +1 other suggestions here on fine tuning your db engine and just scaling up the server.

Pretty cool! I live 20 min from one of them in Boulder, CO.

The speech “Acres of Diamonds” was also delivered there https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell_Conwell

There is not a lot of specific details here but have you already tried and exhausted things like analyzing execution plans, index optimizations, index encoding, value encoding, denormalization, read replicas, and [front] caching?

I just meant something with a lower level of programming than business apps.

Usually, the frameworks themselves, “servers,” “engines,” and “drivers” would not be easy to generate with the MDA approach. I imagine, apps and games with highly customized UI/UX would not be a good fit either.

MDA is for “boring” business apps where you would want all your screens look the same unified way. That’s where MDA shines, cuts down coding and QA effort, and allows producing massive products with many hundreds of tables and screens.

I would say that’s a valid insight and most Line Of business (LOB) apps can (and really should) be produced that way.

However, this approach usually doesn’t work for more “system” level products.

Check out Model-Driven Architecture [1]. Most likely you’ll be able to configure an MDA toolchain to generate the code you want

I personally would make a different suggestion here: 1) set up a new corp as soon as possible to be able to track business expenses right away, issue stock, etc 2) use an S-CORP instead of an LLC. All those additional “processes” people usually mention are really just “good business,” not that difficult to keep up with, and ultimately will only add security especially if you will have cofounders / investors. 3) use ONE corp for all your MVPs, track per-product costs nicely for each of them (Xero does it well), and only maybe spin them off into separate companies if/when they succeed

It sounds like a pretty content heavy site, a site that can expect a lot of reads. Why not just put it on S3?

So, to clarify, it looks like you are already using Google Sheets, which is great.

But the spreadsheet you link to is designed more “visually” and not like a real database. You also don’t seem to be accounting for 1-to-Many and Many-to-Many relationships in the data.

Also, from the way you phrase your question, it sounds like you say “a database” but mean “a database and an app to manage it.”

Am I close?

If that’s the case, I’d suggest to begin with watching a few YouTube videos on “database design” to understand things like “primary keys” and 1-to-Many and Many-to-Many relationships. And then focus on designing just the tables of your database. Possibly, just using Google Sheets and with a little help from an experienced freelance developer.

Once you get the tables right, you can think about the app. A few options there would be Google Sheets, Airtables, Bubble.is, or even using something like MySQL and a custom-built app.

It would be perfect for several of my clients if only it was a web based app.
