⏳ Countdown – Beautiful Code #15

Hey! It’s Marc 👋

Only two weeks left until the end of the year, and just two newsletters remaining (this one and next week’s). So far, creating this newsletter has been an enriching experience, as every week I discover new tools and resources that could help me in future projects. Additionally, reviewing and searching for cool websites opens my mind and sparks ideas when designing and developing websites.

I hope it’s also helping you—that’s the goal of Beautiful Code 😊 

With that said, let’s dive into this week’s content!

It offers features like natural language interaction for database creation, drag-and-drop CSV imports, and the ability to generate reports and charts. The platform utilizes PGlite, a WebAssembly build of Postgres, enabling full database functionality without the need for server-side components.

Additionally, Database.build supports integration with user-provided Large Language Models (LLMs) via OpenAI-compatible APIs, offering flexibility in AI model selection.
