on: Show HN: Rest – Instant RESTful API on Any SQL Database
I didn't spend much time on naming, the original idea was inspired by an interesting project PostgREST which is a similar tool bind to Postgres, so I just name it as Rest which could provide RESTFul API for any SQL database.

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.
