  Project mention: Ask HN: Would issue “bounties” make contributing to open source more appealing? | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-04-14

  We looked into doing this with our main open source project (https://github.com/sheetjs/sheetjs) years ago and ultimately decided against putting bounties for issues.

  Fixing small typos and other "menial tasks" can be funded, but for reasonably popular projects there are plenty of people who will do that work for the resume bump.

  That leaves non-trivial problems for bounties. Most of those issues are much deeper, requiring a significant time investment for development and testing. Once you are talking about X0 or X00 hours, a fair bounty starts crossing into the $Y0,000 range. At that scale you might as well just hire a full time person to do the work.

  What we found effective was paying experts in other areas to help with demos. For example, the SheetJS x Google Sheets demo (https://github.com/SheetJS/sheetjs/tree/master/demos/google-...) was written with the help of the author of the drive-db module. You will probably find lots of small projects unrelated to the open source issues that you could fund.

• Sequelize

  7 24,099 8.4 JavaScript

  An easy-to-use multi SQL dialect ORM tool for Node.js

  

  Project mention: AMA - Self taught web developer, started learning in 2008 | reddit.com/r/developersIndia | 2021-04-07

  Express.js is the primary web framework, almost everyone uses it. For database, you can try a query builder like knex.js and there's ORMs like Sequelize and TypeORM. But before this, you'd need to understand databases. I've worked with MySQL and PostgreSQL mainly, not much of an experience with NoSQL databases. For your API layers, you can check out GraphQL or a simple REST API using express. If it's super simple stuff, just make a JSON RPC.

  A pure node.js JavaScript Client implementing the MySQL protocol.

  

  Project mention: Update on the malicious commits to PHP codebase | reddit.com/r/programming | 2021-04-07

  And if you wonder who else does this, well... For instance, the most popular mysql driver for NodeJs out there https://github.com/mysqljs/mysql#escaping-query-values still doesn't support prepared statements, and still does client-side character escaping.

• Lowdb

  Project mention: Generate TypeScript definitions from PostgreSQL | dev.to | 2021-04-14

  I've been enjoying using Knex.js database client for quite some time when implementing GraphQL API backends. One thing that it currently lucks though, is the ability to generate strongly typed (TypeScript) models from the actual database schema.

  A simple Node.js ORM for PostgreSQL, MySQL and SQLite3 built on top of Knex.js

  

  Project mention: What do you think about ORMs? | reddit.com/r/node | 2021-01-18

  FYI Currently I use Knex with Bookshelf. Bookshelf is an ORM written by Knex author before TypeORM, Objection... existed. It's not maintained anymore but it works fine and is much better than Sequelize when I've tried.

• Objection.js

  2 6,008 7.3 JavaScript

  An SQL-friendly ORM for Node.js

  

  Project mention: Best DB solution with migrations, seeders, etc? TypeORM, Sequelize, or something else? | reddit.com/r/sveltejs | 2021-04-12

  Personally I hated Sequelize when I tried it a couple of years ago and used Objection instead.

• orbit-db

  12 5,572 6.4 JavaScript

  Peer-to-Peer Databases for the Decentralized Web

  

  Project mention: some thoughts and a few nano projects | reddit.com/r/nanocurrency | 2021-03-07

  One of my favorite projects in the space is OrbitDB/IPFS, though Nano is quickly rising to the top. You probably haven't heard about it even though it's been around since 2014 because there is no money to be made off it directly. As a developer evaluating various distributed protocols to use in distributed systems, Nano is just about the only cryptocurrency project that fits my requirements for Record: a distributed system for audio files. Just some food for thought.
