My OpenSource Impact

Tools engineered to reduce boilerplate, automate database interaction, and streamline client API integrations.

pypiv0.1.13
Interactive database workbench for SQLAlchemy

Inspecting SQLAlchemy models in standard Python REPLs requires tedious manual imports and session setup. Alchemist Shell auto-discovers your project models and renders query outputs directly as readable terminal tables.

npmv1.0.8
Client-side library for Falcosend API integrations

Lightweight client package for submitting web form payloads to Falcosend endpoints directly from frontend applications without extra backend server code.

import { FalcoSend } from 'falcosend-sdk';

const sdk = new FalcoSend({
  url: 'https://api.falcosend.ellypad.com/submissions/create/',
  submissionKey: 'myKey...'
});

// Direct frontend submission without backend server
await sdk.submit({
  form_name: 'Contact Form',
  data: { name: 'Dev', email: 'dev@example.com' }
});
