Lightbase, an Abstract API for P2P Database

Hacker News

I developed an abstraction layer for read/write operations with IPFS. I wanted to build a database tool that solves some current database limitations: + Cost: how traditional server-based databases can become costly to run and operate + Development speed: traditional databases can take time to set up (i.e. defining the schema) + Duplicate items: duplicate items or profiles can appear between databases (i.e. a bio description that has to be inputted separately on different websites or platforms). Lightbase aims to solve these issues by being: + Affordable: low-cost by leveraging P2P file sharing (currently on IPFS) + Frictionless: minimal commands (via an abstraction layer) that are inspired by HTTP-commands + Unique (future feature): allow a single row (or item) to be accessible by different applications with respect to relevant permissions/visibility settings I developed the current codebase on GitHub in one afternoon, which is capable of read/write operations on IPFS. I would love to hear everyone's recommendations on what could be improved, and future features of interest. Thanks in advance!
