voxeling VS matchboxdb

I've been creating something akin to Minecraft creative mode in the browser since 2016: https://github.com/alanszlosek/voxeling. It all started when I found the VoxelJS project. The possibilities really hooked me so I forked it, learned a ton about WebGL, then started my own repo and rewrote nearly everything from scratch. I've been having a blast. There are endless opportunities for optimization (must maintain 60fps!), which is extremely rewarding to me.

Last year I started making videos showing the code and the improvements I've made: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGonE3T1sorRgdHNBGhpj...

That's just one of my projects, but the one I'm most proud of. Even if the code isn't conventional or pretty. :-)

I'm trying to build a database system from scratch (without using third party libraries) in modern C++ (I do use googletest for unit tests).

I've mostly been stumbling around but having no prior experience writing anything like this, I think I am at a place where things might start coming together soon.

Initially I had very different goals but now I think I will focus on things like indices, full fledged SQL support and more data types later, once I have the basic model working.

I did get to learn a lot while working on it, and hopefully will get to learn a lot more as things come up.

Some of the resources which were very helpful were the CMU database course on youtube and the book called "database internals" by Alex Petrov (I just read parts of it as required).
