Would a graph database be closer to what you are looking to do?

Probably, but I haven't found yet my dreamed graph DB (serverless, Node.js compatible...).

what relations does a relational db not help with? (i thought they were basically an implementation of the relational model).

Being a child of, being included in...
You can of course manage all those relations in a relational database but the job is done by you, not by the database.

but isn't the point of being able to implement any relationship you want rather than having a few particular kinds (child of, included in) "built in" a feature? are you going to extend your database every time someone wants a different kind of relationship?
I would say that my objective with ChocoDB is to make it accessible and useful to people who want to manage database structures and queries in a more natural way.
I want the database to help manage different types of relations: inclusion, group, structure, association...
Key/value is simple but it does not help to manage relations. Relational DB don't either help to manage different types of relations.
