Ask HN: Lesser-known/underrated cool new web-oriented tech?

1. surrealdb

   1 104 29,237 9.8 Rust

   A scalable, distributed, collaborative, document-graph database, for the realtime web

   

   I've been surveying the space lately and I re/discovered some really powerful new-ish tech which woke up my tech taste buds and am now looking for more such "tasty" tech (sorry I guess I'm due for a meal soon :P)

   Example as starters:

   - Qwik and resumable web apps (https://qwik.dev/)

   - SurrealDB, maximally flexible multi-model DB (https://surrealdb.com/)

   There are others, but I'm trying to keep to the starkest examples and not to influence the discussion too much.

   I do think this is the best place to ask such questions - I'm explicitly interested in cutting-edge tech, but the edge doesn't have to be excessively sharp ;).

2. SurveyJS

   surveyjs.io featured

   JavaScript Form Builder with No-Code UI & Built-In JSON Schema Editor. Add the SurveyJS white-label form builder to your JavaScript app (React/Angular/Vue3). Build complex JSON forms without coding. Fully customizable, works with any backend, perfect for data-heavy apps. Learn more.

4. atomic-server

   3 16 1,258 9.0 TypeScript

   An open source headless CMS / real-time database. Powerful table editor, full-text search, and SDKs for JS / React / Svelte.

   

   I think Atomic Data is a pretty cool project in the linked data/knowledge graph space

   > Atomic Data is a modular specification for sharing, modifying and modeling graph data. It combines the ease of use of JSON, the connectivity of RDF (linked data) and the reliability of type-safety.

   > AtomicServer is an open source, powerful graph database + headless CMS. It's the reference implementation for the Atomic Data specification, written in Rust
