Our great sponsors
  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • v86

    x86 PC emulator and x86-to-wasm JIT, running in the browser

  • Maybe I missed it, but is the licensing info available anywhere? The playground seems to be using v86.js I don't see the required "Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright notice" -- https://github.com/copy/v86/blob/master/LICENSE

  • absurd-sql

    sqlite3 in ur indexeddb (hopefully a better backend soon)

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • sql.js

    A javascript library to run SQLite on the web.

  • file-system-access

    Expose the file system on the user’s device, so Web apps can interoperate with the user’s native applications.

  • Huh. Disregard what I wrote entirely, then. Reading through https://github.com/WICG/file-system-access/blob/main/AccessH..., I can see how they’ve bypassed most of the problems I saw—I was making unnecessary assumptions.

    Thank you for correcting me.

  • fs

    File System Standard (by whatwg)

  • PostgresApp

    The easiest way to get started with PostgreSQL on the Mac

  • I love that you did audacious thing.

    FYI, if you're MacOS, someone has packaged Postgres into a standard "just works" self contained MacOS app. With a GUI & system tray menu to contro it. It so good that I use it instead of a Docker image for PG. All the psql and pg_restore commands are contained in the .app package and can be called from the terminal.

  • node-postgres

    Discontinued PostgreSQL client for node.js. (by bitdotioinc)

  • Love this! I think it's time for the database to move closer to the browser.

    We spend some time getting the node-postgres library working with websockets so we could go browser->websockify->postgres: https://github.com/bitdotioinc/node-postgres - this lets us use a full-featured postgres client (with, eg, cursor support) in the browser.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • datasette-lite
