Very nice, nice set of constraints!

I think this website is beautiful in its simplicity

DataGridXL, an Excel-like data grid for JavaScript. The manual Excel-like step is not going anywere soon is my estimate. https://datagridxl.com

What a brilliant blog. Author puts a lot of love in it, that's clear! Thanks for sharing, read the whole thing. Made me feel kinda stupid for not using CSS Grid more... ;-)

Beautiful work

Cool project, it speaks to me! And I dig the emojis.

I like the chain able queries, like:

``` const cats = await manifest .from('cats') .where('breed = siamese') .andWhere('active = true') .andWhere('birthDate > 2020-01-01') .find() ```

What is it inspired by?

Mmmm... It comes from ORMs in general I guess. I appreciate the effort of some ORMs to get a nice syntax, making it feel like natural language. I guess Laravel Eloquent was my first crush in my PHP days. Then modern ORMs like TypeORM and Prisma do an excellent job IMO.

I also like the idea of transposing ORM-style queries in the browser to abstract the whole API response-request part.

Looks exactly like https://knexjs.org/ but I bet there are query builders / ORMs with same syntax

Love it! Thanks for sharing.

Hey OP,

Love the headline. Very confident ;-)

This is a very interesting article, thank you for the research!

I am very happy to work solo to prevent as much of these things as possible.

Everyone is using Typescript these days it seems instead of plain JavaScript but the 10 seconds + compile times and the extra layers in debugging make it a pain for me instead of a benefit. So I am using ES6 with Rollup. Rollup is great and my only dev dependency really. However great it is, if one day I could do without, I would :-)

I started using Deno for its native TypeScript support. Debugging my TS libraries by stepping through the TS code in my editor is great.

What a beautiful website and what a fun read! Thanks for sharing!
