ExcelJS and XLSX (SheetJS) are great libraries to work with XLSX files. The former I've found a bit easier to work with but less efficient in general.
To manage user auth we need to create a user account - identification. So, let's install mongoose and jsonwebtoken to handle JWT authentication - an alternative to creating a user session when a user logs in
https://github.com/typicode/lowdb is a cool option.

Project mention: Show HN: Appendable – Index JSONL data and query via CDN | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-05Hi HN! A friend and I were inspired by projects like https://github.com/sql-js/sql.js and the idea of querying files served over CDN with HTTP range requests. We started thinking: what would a database that was specifically designed for this type of use case look like? So we started building one, and we landed on a functional prototype that we're pretty proud of!
With our prototype, Appendable, we're able to serve and query large (GB+) datasets by hosting them on a static file host like Amazon S3 or Cloudflare R2 without running a separate server and worrying about things like tail latency, replication, and connection pooling -- all that is handled for us by the file hoster.
Additionally, one tenet that we have been following is Appendable won't touch your underlying data, so your jsonl file is preserved and we point at that data instead of consuming it into an Appendable-specific file format. This keeps your data yours and makes it easy to introspect the data: just open it up with your favorite editor aka vim.
We're curious what you think, we're excited to build this out further to get the performance even better and add features like pubsub. Everything is open source at https://github.com/kevmo314/appendable.

Project mention: Neon Is Generally Available: Serverless Postgres | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-15pg doesn't do too well with serverless, dead connections are left in the pool (or something)

The word on the street is that https://github.com/rhashimoto/wa-sqlite is nearly production ready, closing in on the neat 1.0.0 release, with its IDBBatchAtomic engine highly recommended at https://www.powersync.com/blog/sqlite-persistence-on-the-web. You can try out the benchmark https://rhashimoto.github.io/wa-sqlite/demo/benchmarks.html.
And the other contestant is Dexie, stable https://dexie.org/.
If you were to branch into a new venture today, which one would you pick? And why?
Storing the notes: For storing the notes, we will use the amazing WatermelonDB package which is a popular sqlite wrapper for react-native. Instead of using the default package we will use a fork of this that uses sqlcipher instead of the regular sqlite, allowing us to encrypt the database by passing a secret key.

Objection.js is a SQL-friendly ORM for Node.js that supports various relational databases, including PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite. It provides a flexible and expressive query builder. Objection.js is known for its expressive syntax, allowing developers to build complex queries easily. It supports eager loading, transactions, and migrations.
Project mention: Neon Is Generally Available: Serverless Postgres | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-15I want to use this as a chance to bring attention to a GitHub issue that I think would help reduce friction for Neon:
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/4989
If the Neon driver were to allow us to easily pass in a localhost connection, the development and test experience would be easier. Perhaps Neon could swap to something like this internally: https://github.com/porsager/postgres.
Having run a local dev environment connected to Neon and tests connected to Neon got in our way of adoption. We'd prefer to develop and run tests against a regular Postgres localhost database.
To the PMs of Neon, put yourself in the shoes of a new developer thinking of giving Neon a try. What changes will I have to make to my code and my development workflow?
Bookshelf.js is an uncomplicated and lightweight ORM designed for Node.js, constructed atop the Knex.js query builder. Its primary aim is to support SQL databases, such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite. Bookshelf.js focuses on simplicity and user-friendliness, offering a direct method for defining models and relationships through JavaScript classes and prototypal inheritance.

Personally with more time I would also use JavaScript so I can improve it. Last time I wrote something with Express and a database connection is a long time ago and not for work, only for my personal testing. But for JavaScript database connection to PostgreSQL I recommend pg-promise. That works like a charm.
