I'm excited to share an update about Soul, an open source project I created that acts as a RESTful and realtime server for SQLite databases.

Soul makes it incredibly simple to add a backend to any project - just give it a SQLite database file and it will instantly serve up CRUD endpoints without any additional configuration. When I first launched Soul a while back, its core functionality was just this.

A few months ago, one of Soul's long time contributors approached me about adding authentication and authorization capabilities. We worked together to design an ACL system, and they implemented it. I'm pleased to share that Soul now has robust user authentication and role-based access control built right in.

The authentication works by defining "roles" that map tables to permitted CRUD operations. These roles can then be assigned to users. This allows you to easily control which users have create, read, update or delete access to specific tables. It couldn't be much simpler to set up authorization for your SQLite APIs.

I wanted to share a new Python project I've been working on called Jake. It's an alternative to popular link aggregator services like Linktree and OneLink. Jake leverages the power of GitHub Pages to provide you with a hassle-free way to create your one-link website. The best part? It won't cost you a dime!

With Jake, you can easily showcase all your important links and content in one central hub, neatly organized and easily accessible. Your website will have a sleek URL in the format of "username.github.io," giving it a professional touch.

Jake is completely written in Python and uses the `tinyhtml` library to generate static HTML websites. Simply fill in the `data.toml` file with your information, and Jake will automatically build and deploy your website to GitHub Pages using a GitHub action.

I wanted to share with you a new project I've been working on that is an alternative to Linktree and OneLink. It's called Jake, and it offers some great features.

With Jake, you can create your one-link website using GitHub Pages, and the best part is that it won't cost you a dime. Your website will have a cool URL in the format of "username.github.io."

One of the key advantages of Jake is its flexibility. You can add as many sections and items (links) as you want, allowing you to organize your content effectively.

Setting up Jake is a breeze. It only takes a few minutes, and you won't encounter any complex steps. Additionally, Jake is customizable, although the customization options are currently somewhat limited. However, I have plans to introduce more customizable features in the future. You can personalize the theme and primary color to match your style.
