@ImSh4yy — ws4sqlite: SQLite as a REST API server
You probably never heard of
ws4qlitebefore.It turns SQLite into an HTTP server and gives you a RESTful API to interact with your database. It comes with auth + backups and much more out of the box.
I wrote a guide for it: https://selfhosthq.com/sqlite/ws4sqlite
Smart idea with a very specific niche: you have a SQLite file and you want to expose it over HTTP without writing a whole server layer. ws4sqlite handles auth, backups, and the REST routing for you. Practically useful for small internal tools, edge deployments, or anywhere you want SQLite without Node or Python in the picture. The name typo in the tweet (ws4qlite vs ws4sqlite) has been confusing people in the replies — the real project is ws4sqlite.
@mjovanovictech — Should you stop using UUIDs?
𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗨𝗨𝗜𝗗𝘀?
UUIDs (Guid in C#) are widely used as unique identifiers in databases. UUIDs are random, which makes them popular in distributed systems.
However, UUIDs have some drawbacks:
- UUIDs slow down database inserts. Each [...]
The insert performance hit is real: random UUIDs fragment B-tree indexes because each new row lands somewhere random in the structure rather than at the end. The standard alternative is UUID v7 or ULID — both are time-ordered and lexicographically sortable, so inserts stay sequential. If you're on Postgres, gen_random_uuid() still gives you v4, so you need to opt into v7 explicitly. Worth the migration if your table is insert-heavy and you're seeing index bloat.
@dani_avila7 — Claude 3.5 Sonnet in VSCode
Claude 3.5 Sonnet is now available as a code assistant in VSCode!🚨
If you already have the extension installed, you just have to reload VSCode and Claude 3 will automatically update to Claude 3.5 🙌
In the video I show how to document a code in python and it also adds the [...]
Claude 3.5 Sonnet dropped the same week and immediately showed up in the VSCode extension — that's a fast turnaround. The jump from 3 to 3.5 in coding tasks is noticeable: it's more accurate with large context windows and less prone to hallucinating function signatures. If you've been using the Anthropic extension and wondering whether to switch, the answer is just reload.
@rseroter — Vertex AI Studio, no login required
Try out @googlecloud Vertex AI without even logging in.
We just turned on the ability to use Vertex AI Studio to write prompts and interact with Gemini 1.5 Flash/Pro for free, no signing in. Wow.
Just click this link and get to work: https://console.cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative/multimodal/create/text
Interesting friction removal from Google. No account, no OAuth dance, just open the link and start prompting Gemini 1.5 Flash or Pro. The obvious use case is quick eval comparisons — you can test a prompt against Gemini without wiring up an API key. Whether this drives actual adoption or just casual kicks is hard to say, but from a developer experience standpoint, it's the right call.
@owjuhl — Medusa 2.0 inventory UI
I am obsessed with our new product and inventory management UI+UX, shipping in Medusa 2.0.
You will never want to use a different flow again.
Medusa is an open-source commerce platform and 2.0 is a significant rewrite — modular, headless, built for customization. The inventory UI in the clip looks genuinely polished: inline editing, fast state transitions, no full-page reloads. For anyone building a commerce product and dreading the admin UI, this is worth a look as a reference or as a base.
@pontusab — Midday design system: shadcn + Storybook + Vercel
It's time to create the @middayai design system! 🎨
This will enable us to move fast!
- @viktorhofte will create components and rules in @figma 📏
- Components will be based on @shadcn 🔥
- Everything will be documented and accessible in @storybookjs 📕
- Hosted on @vercel ⚡
The stack here — Figma for design tokens, shadcn for component primitives, Storybook for documentation, Vercel for hosting — is becoming the de-facto setup for product teams that want to move fast without reinventing wheels. Midday is an open-source financial platform so the design system will be public. Worth keeping an eye on as a reference implementation of this pattern done in the open.
@ixahmedxi — VSCode aesthetic overhaul with Moxer
My New VSCode aesthetics 🤩
Follow-up clarified the theme is Moxer with a matching icon set. Honestly just saved this as a visual reference — the combination of a dark theme with consistent icon styling makes the whole editor feel more coherent than the default setup. The video linked in the follow-up reply walks through the exact setup. Low-stakes but useful if you spend 8 hours a day staring at VSCode.
