Thanks for sharing your project! Hoardbase looks really interesting - I appreciate you taking the time to link it.
Your experience of starting with the MongoDB API idea and then deciding SQL syntax was sufficient is really valuable feedback. It makes me wonder about the specific pain points that initially drove you toward a MongoDB API, and what aspects of SQL ended up working well enough for your needs.
For document-oriented workloads, did you find any particular patterns or techniques with SQLite's JSON functions that made working with nested data and arrays more manageable? Or did you end up modeling your data differently to better fit SQL's approach?
I'm also curious about your decision to use Rust for the implementation. Was that primarily for performance reasons, or were there other factors that led you in that direction?
Thanks again for sharing your experience - it's really helpful to hear from someone who's explored this space before.
