that's exactly what I was looking for, many thanks!

Postgres has advanced dramatically in last years and is mostly a default choice in our consulting projects. Take, for example native support for row-level security - https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/ddl-rowsecurity.html

However, we are going to support other databases like Mongo and MySQL.

yes, we forked and customized sharedb under the hood, more databases and out-of-the-box functions for collaboration are in progress.

We haven't published the sources yet, it will appear on https://github.com/okdb-io soon.

Yes, I hope that realtime apps will be our future :)

Regarding integration - okdb provides hooks, so that you can implement custom authentication/verification, e.g. verify JWT token. For details, have a look at the docs here - https://okdb.io/p/docs/api/server#s5.1

Happy to answer any other questions

Hi HN, I'm the author of okdb - wrote it to make it easier to create collaborative apps.

Interesting, I've built a similar project that generates GraphQL API based on your database schema - https://okdb.io

See also http://visualizationuniverse.com/charts/ made by Adioma - with search interest and data from Google Trends.

Yes, I was thinking about libraries that may boost productivity and avoid writing something from scratch.

Managed solution is a good option, need to find a way to build trust at the beginning though.

Understood, thank you. Upmarket is an interesting area to focus on first, even it's not that scalable.

Interesting perspective, reminds me of a game theory. Thanks!

True, miss it also sometimes. It will not be as lightweight though - reminds me about SOAP/WSDL times.

GraphQL goes in this direction by enforcing type checks, but is designed for web frontends...

getting downvotes... probably because my comment sounds like it should not be important, that's not what I mean.

There are database products like MongoDB with closed source. I was curious about the author's reasoning in this particular case. E.g. apart of transparency and community contributions, etc

Interesting, why open source is important for you?

> ordinary programmers working in typical office conditions never really understand the problems they're solving

Cannot agree more

It's more difficult to scale in Europe, because of multi-language, multi-culture and regulations across the countries.

Understood, thanks. The "Where Are The Big Ideas" is my favourite.

lots of work and many facts, wow. Do you do the analysis manually or extract the facts somehow automatically?

Hi Hacker News Community,

Will appreciate any feedback!

There is also http://linksandi.com

With nested categories/annotations it's now much-much simpler to store many links and then come back to them later.

Will be glad to hear your feedback!

The bookmarking idea indeed isn't new but still hasn't been solved fully yet.

Delicious is not that great anymore and others try to gain the ground. What will be your value proposition? Because there is a competition:
