Notable sub-projects that could be used with Django:
I use sqlalchemy daily, it's an amazing library, but I wanted something more lightweight and straightforward for this project. I find the unit of work pattern cumbersome
It's inspired by Astro Pages [1] which are the same thing in the javascript world. I really liked the developer experience working with them.

I've also submitted SQLORM on HN if it's of interest to others: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45607688
Sqlorm – Python ORM with a focus on SQL
I made an announcement post here: https://hyperflask.dev/blog/2025/10/14/launch-annoncement/
I love to hear feedback!
The component system is not fully independent because it depends on multiple other extensions but it mostly is as this extension: https://github.com/hyperflask/flask-super-macros
On the GitHub organization there is a list of all the extensions that are built as part of the project: https://github.com/hyperflask

Show HN: SQLify – Query all your apps and APIs using SQL
Hello HN,We are happy to announce SQLify, a new product from the team behind Kantree (https://kantree.io).Some time ago, we had the request to access data from Kantree through BI tools. We realized one of the easiest way to achieve this was to provide an SQL interface, compatible with PostgreSQL, so that data analyst could query Kantree data like they're used to. No need to learn the details of...
Starting a coop is like starting any other kind of company so same rules apply. (You must be at least 2 people of course!)
There is no valuation other than amount of shares x value of share. Voting power is not dependent on share (1 person = 1 vote).
Making an exit is thus not a possibility. Investors have little interest to finance a traditional company that would only yield dividends (if it does, which is not mandatory).
The problem of speed is also often cited: democracy takes more time. While I think that's true, I haven't felt that was a limiting factor. Financing is a much bigger one.
- SCOP: adheres to the international definition of coops
- CAE: a coop of freelancers. You are an employee of the structure (with a work contract) but you have to bring in your own revenue to pay your salary. A percentage of your revenue goes towards the coop budget for shared services (accounting, hr, ...) and cash reserve
- SCIC: a multi-party coop. A good use case would be platforms where you could have multiple groups of stakeholders: employees of the platform, users and service providers. (eg. with a Uber like coop: employees, users and drivers could all be separate groups of owners). Each group has a voting percentage. No group can have more than 50% ownership.
I see great potential for the 2 other types of coops that France has in the context of tech. I do not know of any equivalent elsewhere (but would be happy to learn it exists!)
France (where we are based) is actually a very interesting market for coops. There is a very good legal framework around coops and a growing percentage of them. There's even an investment fund of tech coop as of recently! https://coopventure.fr/
I think coops are a great ownership model for the future and for a more responsible economy. It is too bad that there is still very little support and recognition around it.
We are a small team, all employees are associates and we are remote first. New employees must become associate after 1 year.
The hardest part for us is funding as no investors are interested in worker coops.
We had quite a few hurdles on the way and the startup scene mostly rejects outliers like us as we have no true funding story to tell. But we really believe in this model and fight hard to keep going.
We have written about our company on kantree's blog if you want more details.
