Pretty cool - wonder how it compares to Postgrest (https://postgrest.org/).

Generally been a fan of these sorts of models - SQL data is very malleable - and treating the tables as movable from the start really helps move faster as a developer - database migrations become easier as you don't need to do a lot of work with API.

I can see how this would cause problems if you always used this in production after finding a fit for the data model - but for rapid prototyping and development - big fan.

The original idea was inspired by PostgREST, the obvious difference is Rest tries to support all SQL databases, and it results in some design principle that Rest prefers to use a universal method instead of bind to PG features(e.g. use PG role for user authorization). Generally PostgREST is more mature now if you are using PG. Thanks for liking it, I also think it could be a good tool to help developers for rapid prototyping and development.
