  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • libsqlfs

    a library that implements a POSIX style filesystem on top of an SQLite database

  • now let's see what it takes to make absurd-fs, where we use https://github.com/guardianproject/libsqlfs to make a filesystem on top of sqlite on top of the File System Access API.

    gotta keep ourselves fully looped. ⥀

  • certificate-transparency

    Discontinued Auditing for TLS certificates.

  • This could actually work for certificate attestation if baked directly into the browser.

    https://github.com/google/certificate-transparency

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • datasette

    An open source multi-tool for exploring and publishing data

  • Highly entertaining and informative article/project - thanks for taking the time to write about it.

    This is really cool, I wonder if it could be built into something like https://datasette.io/ - without the need for a python runtime.

  • litestream

    Streaming replication for SQLite.

  • People are already trying to get me to hook up https://litestream.io/ to it

  • idb

    IndexedDB, but with promises

  • I've had good experiences with

    https://github.com/jakearchibald/idb

    It's basically a promise-based version of the standard API.

  • standards-positions

    However, I fully expect Chrome to ship it in stable sometime soon, like they do with dozens of other APIs.

    There are now four different half-baked storage/file api proposals, at least one of them is already in stable Chrome... it's a mess.
