Hey folks,
I’ve been mulling over this idea for a while now. Backend dev can be such a drag, right? All that repetitive stuff like setting up databases, dealing with models, and writing CRUD operations.
So I’m working on this cool tool to make our lives easier. Here’s the gist:
- You design your database
- It spits out ORM models and migrations (works with popular ORMs)
- It creates CRUD ops with built-in data checks
- You pick your fave framework and API style
I’ve already got the ORM part working. Pretty neat, huh?
What do you guys think? Is this something you’d use? Should I make it open source?
Drop your thoughts below! 
This project sounds promising. I’ve worked on similar tools in the past, and they can indeed save a lot of time. One aspect to consider is the flexibility of the generated code. In my experience, developers often need to customize the output to fit specific project requirements. Perhaps you could implement a plugin system that allows users to define their own code generation templates?
Another crucial point is performance optimization. Automatically generated code can sometimes be less efficient than hand-crafted solutions. It might be worth incorporating best practices and performance patterns into your generation logic.
Regarding open-sourcing, I believe it could greatly benefit the project. The community might contribute valuable insights and help expand the tool’s capabilities. However, be prepared for the additional responsibility of managing an open-source project, including handling issues, reviewing pull requests, and maintaining documentation.
sounds intriguing! have u considered adding support for different database types? also, how customizable would the generated code be? it’d be cool if devs could tweak things to fit their specific needs. open-sourcing might attract more contributors and ideas. what inspired u to start this project?
yo, this sounds dope! i’d totally use it for quick prototypes. have u thought about adding template customization? like, letting us tweak the generated code to fit our style. open-sourcing could be rad, might bring in some cool ideas from the community. keep us posted on the progress!
