Slightly unrelated but - isn't there a super cost-effective way of quickly whipping up a CRUD API with minimal configuration? Often I implement fairly backends in Java or Go that could might as well have been "configured" from the beginning, instead of implemented each time.

#34Really great start! I could see this being very useful. If you were to extend the functionality to include full CRUD on entities, I think I would start using it immediately on some proof of concept work. For instance, being able to GET, PUT/PATCH, and DELETE by id (or per row) would be awesome. Thanks again for the nice MVP work!

If you're into node, you might want to check out json-server. A single json file with one sample entity is the basis of a full API. Check it out at https://github.com/typicode/json-server

#38Was this inspired by a Danielle Morrill tweet by any chance?
I twitted her, but no response from her. If you have contact with her and she still needs it, please let her now about Sheetsu.
