Show HN: Daba – Turn your JSON into a database Hi all, I built this tool when I needed a simple LocalStorage-esque database for a client project, and figured others might want something similar. Basically turns your JSON into a query-able, hosted database in seconds. You can read/update/delete JSON files by path, just like you would in Javascript. So, something like get(”users[7].address”) And while we’re at it, I also built a simple file storage service where you upload a file and it gives you the URL back. A lot of my (and other devs friends') side projects will never require more data than a JSON file can handle. Yet we always have to go through the hoops of setting up and using databases meant to handle huge amounts of data. There are many other services that could benefit from the same minimalist philosophy. The idea is to have a bunch of building blocks of different services, and let the developer scale up/down the complexity as they see fit. I'm working on more services for daba (In no particular order: SQLite db?, auth, emails, …) You can use this for any applications where the data can fit in a JSON file. (e.g. Website CMS, blog, portfolio, small mobile apps, internal tools, …). You’ll be surprised at how much data a 20mb JSON file can hold: https://ift.tt/CLmJq9a...

Show HN: Tape It, iOS recording app for musicians Hello HN, Over the last 15 months, two friends and I developed the music recording app we felt we wanted based on our own needs as musicians. It's called Tape It [1] and has just recently hit the Apple App Store [2]. We put a lot of effort into a good UX to help musicians really focus on playing their instrument instead of pretending to be a recording engineer. The app records in stereo on newer iPhones (although that's a premium feature; the free version only records in standard mono audio quality). I would be really grateful for advice from this community on how to best approach marketing. We had a great TechCrunch article covering our launch [3], and we posted it on various music websites. Turns out advertising on Google or Apple Search is a dark art, though. We have some good ideas for developing a good social media presence, but they will take time. Please hit us with feedback, opinions and advice that you think a young ind...
