Looks like you’re finding HyperFiddle[0].
Quoting from the website:
> Low-code databases, developer-grade
> Hyperfiddle lets you make lightweight database applications out of just database queries.
It’s Clojure based, uses the EDN notation, and doesn’t require writing a lot of code. It basically translates the Datomic database[1] queries into tables (which can be exported to react components and styled appropriately).

- lkrubner 7y agoNo, Hyperfiddle is exactly what I think we need to get away from. This is from their introductory blog post: "For a high-end UI, use React.js. The above cryptocurrency invoicing MVP generates QR codes using a javascript module from github. This blog post is a hyperfiddle and includes React.js components, CSS, HTML5 video components, mailchimp & twitter integrations" Hyperfiddle is basic scaffolding of the type we've had for 15 years thanks to Ruby On Rails. I'm suggesting it would be good if we could get beyond this level, since we have been stuck at this level for a long time. Hyperfiddle does use EDN for configuration, and I really like that part of it, but it's still using HTML, which, as I said above, doesn't give us the form functionality that VisualBasic did.
