TailwindSQL – Like TailwindCSS, but for SQL Queries in React Server Components

From the site: "For fun only - don't use in production"
JimDabell•2h ago
ColdFusion used to work this way:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_ColdFusion

What surprised me is that when I went to look at the Wikipedia page for CF, apparently its latest release was this year! I haven’t heard anybody mention it in a very long time.

CPLX•2h ago
Apparently some here are quite active with it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46211559

Also longtime internet celebrity and occasional HN poster Pud built the wildly successful Distrokid service with it.

freedomben•1h ago
With how deeply embedded cold fusion was in many gigantic corporations I've worked with, I would not be surprised if it stays alive for decades to come because nobody ever can port off of it.
bdcravens•1h ago
Don't remember the full context, but I heard a few years ago from Adobe that they could never sell another license to the private sector and government licenses would be self-sustaining.
bdcravens•1h ago
I was active in the ColdFusion/CFML community for a long time, and still run some production code in it. It certainly isn't popular, but just carries on quietly, powering a lot of internal applications you'll never hear about. Many run the open source version of it (Lucee).
tootubular•41m ago
Indeed it does. I maintain one such application while an in-progress rewrite develops. Gotta say, it's not been that bad and the Lucee docs have served me well, but for whatever reason I tend to be pleased/impressed by all kinds of tech, even when popular opinion is negative about it.
lisbbb•1h ago
I worked at a major university that used ColdFusion. They had one guy furiously writing all these websites that were total one-offs. They didn't use source control. Every project was a copy of his original. If there was a bug, he had to update dozens of projects instead of maintaining common source across those dozens of sites. He was totally insane and making bank.
conception•59m ago
Lucee took over and is still active (ish).

everyday there is a new `insert something related to react` framework.

Everyday we stray further from the simplicity god.

valiant55•1h ago
Complexity demon everywhere.
mdasen•1h ago
Having clicked on the link, it's one commit with the commit message "wtf"

The README also says "License: MIT - Do whatever you want with it (except deploy to production )"

It's that perfect level of absurdity that captures so much of the terrible complexity that often happens.

valiant55•1h ago
There's a guy complaining that the creator is poisoning the collective code used to train LLMs. If that's all it takes we have a moral responsibility to flood GitHub with garbage.
pennomi•1h ago
Surely a simple filter by number of stars on a project would improve the quality of code LLMs ingest.
stefanfisk•1h ago
You just convinced me to star it.

kachapopopow•1h ago
hopefully I never have to review someone unironically using something similar in production code since I don't think I'll be able to stop myself from dropping a slur or two.
esafak•1h ago

License disallows production use

MIT - Do whatever you want with it (except deploy to production )

crazygringo•1h ago
It's a joke. The entire thing is a joke :)
kykeonaut•1h ago
No no, let him deploy to production.
postepowanieadm•1h ago
There was something like that in Firefox in the age of websqlite(yes, that long ago) - I can't recall it's name but it seemed like a neat idea.
tacker2000•1h ago
Wow holy abstraction!

Weird stuff, seems to be vibe-coded using cursor and also the github issues are full of spam.

nehalem•1h ago
The actual disturbing thing is that given Next‘s track record of questionable security architecture, the author felt compelled to make the joke explicit.
ranza•1h ago
This gives me Tom's a genius vibes
ricardonunez•1h ago
This hilarious. Some people wouldn't know a good joke if it mugged them in an alley.
lisbbb•1h ago
That's because most devs are so overwhelmed with having to keep up with XYZ that the joke isn't even funny.
jasonjmcghee•59m ago
It's hard to tell these days. Anyone can now say "what if..." And have an agent build something that either looks a lot like (or is) that thing.
moron4hire•1h ago
You can't make jokes like this! Someone is going to take you seriously! Just like what happened with TailwindCSS in the first place!
geekjeremy•1h ago
Absurd. Thank you, you shouldn't have. I need it. I logged in for the first time in a long time just to upvote this.
lisbbb•1h ago
I didn't look to see if this is a joke, but seriously, is SQL still a big thing in web dev these days? Feels like it isn't. GraphQL is a thing.
wmichelin•39m ago
GraphQL and SQL are not comparable or competing technologies. GraphQL is more analogous to a REST API. GraphQL can use SQL under the hood, or you can even hand serve the bytes (tongue in cheek here). It's just an over-the-network protocol to serve data.

a Node.JS server might use SQL directly or call out to a GraphQL API, but I literally don't think it's possible to let client-side JavaScript (safely) call a SQL database server directly.

No LLM Prompts support in className? Useless.
Starlevel004•46m ago
It's not really very fun when these joke projects are built by AI.
linhns•46m ago
Looks nice but is it vulnerable to injection attacks?
nine_k•40m ago
It's superficially tailwind-y, but in fact a sort of stenographic subset of SQL:

  db-{table}-{column}-where-{field}-{value}-limit-{n}-orderby-{field}-{asc|desc}

  db-users →
    SELECT * FROM users
  db-users-name →
    SELECT name FROM users
  db-users-where-id-1 →
    SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = 1
  db-posts-title-limit-10 →
    SELECT title FROM posts LIMIT 10
  db-products-orderby-price-desc →
    SELECT * FROM products ORDER BY price DESC
Certainly can result in some terribly inefficient access patterns, as there's no obvious syntax for joins. But enough for a toy project, and enough to hit the HN front page %)
