I built LightBase because I got completely fed up with everyday dev tools forcing cloud accounts, tracking telemetry, and idling at 500MB of RAM just to test an API endpoint. Software should be fast, transparent, and respect your data. Inspired by the raw freedom of the open-source ecosystem, I wanted to build a sovereign workspace that keeps your data where it belongs: on your machine. So, I engineered a ultra-fast C99 core engine, embedded QuickJS directly into memory for instant test execution, and wired a zero-network UNIX socket bridge to let you run AI prompt context completely offline via local llama.cpp. By saving your collections as flat, plain JSON files, collaboration becomes as simple as a Git PR. No cloud locks. No bloat. Just pure local metal.
