Not sure why you’re being downvoted, this is a very interesting history.


You might like Odin, it has a similar philosophy to Zig and supports swizzling:

Matrix types are also built in:

I’ve thought for a little while that Odin could be a secret weapon for game dev and similar pieces of software.


I'm actually dabbling with Odin a bit in the scope of language bindings for the sokol headers:

It's a very enjoyable language!


From a quick glance this could be the missing piece for going all in on SQLite for small apps. Most plug-in admins only work with remotely accesible databases like Postgres.

How would that work, does Outerbase run locally on my server instance?

If it had some functionality for backups and a nice Auth story it could really be a good side project secret weapon.


Hey sorry I missed this one earlier, so right now it doesn't work locally, but definitely something we're exploring.

Also how would you want backups to work? Would you want us to store those for you? Or I guess if it was local would you want them to be stored on your machine at X interval?


This is a really nice stack and what I’m using together with a colleague right now.

Do you use the serverless functions available with Vercel/Supabase? If so, I’m curious how you choose when to go with each provider.


I use vercel functions for this side-project bc they worked out of the box. Just least friction tbh not sure if optimal.
