Hi everyone I was thinking of creating a backend module that has functione for a note taking app (search, sort, etc). So anyone can implement a ui on top of it.
I have some basic understanding of rust (made a just-working chip-8 emulator). But I’ve never used SQL or other database.
Is this plausible? Is there a similar project that I can use as reference? What are the mistakes I should avoid?


I already have mine written quite a while ago. Why not obsidian? AsciiDoc and few other things Obs will miss. Works with SQLite and PostgreSQL. For pure native UI (not WebUI) miss only AsciiDoc grammar I’m working on.
For you… sql knowledge requirement depends on your likings: you can build very small or unoptimised app and be fine, you can make very nice, and complex one and have very complex SQL queries.
I discourage to use MySQL (and clones) due some… peculiarities.
