I've long thought about creating a standard(iana type) for PostgREST json schema + http querystring conventions. I've seen some APIs[1](only one I can remember now) that follow PostgREST conventions, so perhaps this could benefit all of us who don't want to jump on the GraphQL bandwagon but still want an expressive and interoperable/standardized way to query resources.
We currently use OpenAPI but we found some shortcomings[2] and would like to have a more tailored standard.
Right now what we're missing is more funding, we don't have a backing company like GraphQL/gRPC, we rely on community donations through Patreon[3]. Definitely consider supporting us if you want to improve the state of REST APIs, allow us to keep fighting for web standards :).

- hardwaresofton 8y agoThanks to you and the other maintainers for your tireless work on Postgrest (also as a member of the Haskell community)! Is there a paypal link for one-time-donations? I don't use patreon and am not really down to increase my online footprint but would love to be able to donate (I also couldn't find any mention of taking donations on the github or in the docs @ postgrest.org... you might get more donations if it were at least mentioned?)
- steve-chavez 8y agoThanks a lot for your feedback @hardwaresofton, I've just added a section in our README that includes a Paypal link for one-time donations. https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest#supporting-development https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest#supporting-developmen... Thank you for your support!
