Such a missed opportunity to call it "Lambo"
I sell a middleware I built to access data in Airtable / Google Spreadsheets using GraphQL:

How is this fundamentally different from how something like Sidekiq instantiates a Rails codebase to run background jobs?
Checkout baseql.com to generate a GraphQL endpoint from Google Sheets
Kudos! Sounds like a novel concept for newer trends gravitating back again towards SSR at "The Edge"©
I remember using typicode/lowdb in a past life and wondering why it had to have an ad-hoc ORM-like API when good ol' data structures would do just fine?
Nothing against Svelte (actually the opposite), but maybe showcasing a simplified code snippet in the landing page and make it more framework-agnostic might draw more brains
On the other hand, there might be a chance to showcase specific examples of more trending SSR frameworks such as Remix and Next.js. As far as I can tell direct DB access might make more sense on the server-side (LoaderFunction & getServerSideProps respectively)
Great craft!
IMO there's no way around building real production apps starting from the UI. Design has to begin with data model. It's like building a House not from the foundations but from the facade.
FB should probably make it easier to identify and unsubscribe from those feedback loop silos
How about running GraphQL on top of it?
Wondering how is this related to vitiligo [a condition in which the pigment is lost from areas of the skin, causing whitish patches, often with no clear cause.]
BaseQL:
https://www.baseql.com/A single GraphQL access point to all your cloud Data.
The idea is to use existing relational data stored in the cloud to rapidly create a GraphQL API that is production ready.
We support Airtable for now, and we're developing GSheets.
Technical docs & examples: https://docs.baseql.com/usage/querying
I worked in US and was on TN Visa until earlier this month. Came back to my country (MX) and got a travel B-1 visa already. I'm bootstrapping a startup (remotely) with a US Co-Founder. Will I be able to incorporate when the opportunity arise?
We believe that GraphQL would be more appealing as a middle-ground for devs who want to no-code. See
https://www.baseql.com/ (*Support for GSheets is on the roadmap!)
We are working on the backend side creating NoCode tools for generating GraphQL APIs. If you have some time we'd love to chat! benoror [at] gmail [dot] com

What are your thoughts on StdLib.com?
Nice mentor you got there
