SQLNet A social network that looks like Twitter but you write SQL to do anything

SQLNet is the Twitter look‑alike where you don’t click buttons — you write database commands to do anything. The creator wanted something weird, to learn how one database can safely serve many people, and to escape “normal” social media. Cue community chaos: one fan, boffin, gushes over the oddball charm, while others cackle at the idea of writing your own feed algorithm and finally learning what a “JOIN” (mashing two data lists together) really does. There’s even a barebones flex dropped like a mic: SELECT token, user_id FROM users. Subtle? Not even trying.

But the vibe quickly splits. User somat shows off a kindred chaos project — a public database on an old router in their closet — pleading “be gentle,” instantly turning “closet server” into the day’s running joke. Meanwhile, insomniacity slams into a timeout and posts the saddest frowny face of the week. That’s the drama: dreamers vs. pragmatists. The dreamers love the hacker‑homework energy and the no‑frills look (the creator even warns you’ll miss “pretty CSS,” aka fancy design). The pragmatists are like, “Cool idea, but if my ‘Like’ needs a query and the site wheezes, I’m out.” It’s part classroom, part carnival, and everyone has feelings.
