Show HN: I made an API builder for side projects (getquickbase.com)

My side project just got to the point where it passed the "to-do list test": it can be used to make a simple to-do list app! I feel like this is the basic test for any framework/language lol.

Quickbase is an easy way to create a RESTful API on top of a relational database schema without wrangling with deployments or backend frameworks. Making the schema for your project literally takes 60 seconds in a UI, and then the API is just available for you to use.

Supports CRUD operations, user authentication, filtering, etc. Keep in mind that this is less than a week old, but I will be building more soon.

Tools used: - AWS Fargate, Amplify, RDS, etc. - Django REST Framework - Next.js with Mantine (I _love_ this component library for TS/React)

Cannot read the documentation website on mobile.
ooh this is nice! What did you implement it with? I think this might fit really nicely with https://wasp-lang.dev/ at some point
its made with django rest, postgres, aws, etc. would love to check out wasp at some point!
it reminds me an early version of Directus https://directus.io/, good job building a headless cms
Thank you!
