This is fantastic to see. First time I tried out Hasura back in late 2018 I was AMAZED. After going through multiple different stacks such as MeteorJS, Firebase, building my own REST/GraphQL API etc. Nothing really felt right. That was until I found out about Hasura. I actually had to assemble a quick meetup at the co-working space I was on (true story) to show everybody this software. Hasura Tweet: https://twitter.c…

If you love hasura and want something like firebase, please check out the tutorial with hasura + RxDB. It is like having a firebase with better offline-first and more features and of course without vendor lock-in.

Hasura is a game-changer. I'm never writing CRUD backend apps again by hand. Combine Hasura (automatic GraphQL on top of PostgreSQL) with React Admin (low code CRUD apps) and you can build an entire back office admin suite or form app (API endpoints and admin front end) in a matter of hours. This adaptor connects react-admin with Hasura: https://github.com/Steams/ra-data-hasura-graphql Here's a reference application…

Looks cool! I cloned it and ran it locally. I noticed there was no backend running locally, and then saw it points to https://low-code-api.herokuapp.com/v1/graphql . Is the code running there available in a repo too? It would be super nice if you could link to it from the project README.

When I have a chance I'll refactor this so that it uses a local docker Hasura and Postgres instance.

Django has had an automatic admin site since 2006 or earlier, this isn't a game changer for me.

So has Rails via Active Admin.

The advantage is React Admin is back end agnostic and you can tap into the huge React ecosystem. And with Hasura you get automatic GraphQL endpoints (Django nor Rails Active Admin do this - you have to create models first vs just a schema with Hasura) which can be used for more than just your admin backend.

Man, there's so many cool ways to build CRUD apps nowadays, I wish I just found a good opportunity to write one!

What I liked with Firebase was how easy and fast everything was. One-click create a new project and everything was ready to use.

It's this developer experience I want to mimic with Nhost. By providing a managed backend with simple to use js-sdk (https://github.com/nhost/nhost-js-sdk).

I'm excited anytime a technology comes along that makes for great user experience AND developer experience. I can demonstrate the value that Hasura provides to either side in minutes.

The subscriptions are particularly interesting to me, I've never seen anything else that makes web sockets so easy to implement. I'm very optimistic for their future.

Having built and maintained large Django apps for the past couple of years, I personally prefer Hasura's admin console over Django's one, not least because you don't need to write any code to get it started!

Hasura also ships with websocket support, something that Django has always struggled with.
