singyeong VS datasette

- I wrote my own message queue because of dissatisfaction with existing solutions; it's like a very smart gateway: https://github.com/queer/singyeong

- My own key-value store that versions values by default: https://github.com/queer/crush

- A Spring-inspired web app 'framework' for fun: https://github.com/queer/autumn

- Slowly building my own k8s-inspired container scheduler: https://github.com/queer/mahou

For my projects I've built most of the infrastructure stack myself:

- https://github.com/queer/singyeong if I need message queuing / etc

My message queue https://github.com/queer/singyeong It's been closer to research into how things could work than a project meant to be used in prod, and I've learned a ton from it.

Simon Willison's github would be a great place to get started imo -

I'm a fan on simonw's datasette/dogsheep ecosystem https://datasette.io/

I use Anki the exact same way. After a lifetime of learning I have accepted that I will never read over anything I write for myself voluntarily - so my two options are:

1. Write an article so good I can publish it and look it over myself later on. I did this last year with https://andrew-quinn.me/fzf/, for example.

2. Create Anki cards out of the material. Use the builtin Card Browser or even https://datasette.io/ on the underlying SQLite database in a pinch to search for my notes any time I have to.

Were you aware of, or tempted by https://datasette.io/ for creating your solution?

Browsing HN, GitHub and the like we get to see a huge variety of software products and code bases.

I often see products and think - if this product X, got together with Y, it would be pretty cool - kind of like if they had a kid together.

Not too literally, but more on the conceptual level - my level of programming is low.

E.g. Just some....

You might like the Datasette project: https://datasette.io/

I don't think they are desperate for contributions but it's a welcoming environment and a fun project to hack on. You'll learn a lot just from reading the source and the incredibly informative PRs. The creator is a really talented developer with a great blog which shows up on the HN front page often.

Last year I worked through the challenges using VisiData, Datasette, and Pandas. I walked through my thought process and solutions in a series of posts.
