The main repository description [1] mentions: > The fastest way to build type safe web apps. IHP is a new batteries-included web framework optimized for longterm productivity and programmer happiness Hence even without that line you could've figured that out with one click. Don't have to spam every release about what the program does, as long as the main repository description (including README.md) does. [1] https://github.com/digitallyinduced/ihp

Thanks for the feedback! :) Automatic migration generation has only been added in the last release a few weeks ago. Right now it works by keeping track of all changes you apply via the GUI based schema designer, and then writing that into the migration sql file once you generate a new migration. When you add a trigger manually to the Schema.sql file of your app, you then still need to copy it over to the migration manually right now. We're still exploring that auto migration space. In the future we might switch to a real schema diff approach (in fact there's a WIP PR here https://github.com/digitallyinduced/ihp/pull/1137) > Second question- Is there something I could read to catch up with what's happened to the Haskell language over the last 5-10 years or so, since I looked at it last?

Thanks for the feedback on the ads! We've been experimenting a lot with different ad formats recently. I'll make sure this is fixed. (Update: Fixed now, thanks again for the honest feedback) In a comparison between IHP and Yesod I think that IHP is designed for people that have only very little to no haskell experience. IHP brings a lot of conventions and code generators to get you up and running very quickly, while Yesod gives you more flexibility (flexibility might be more challenging when you're just starting out with haskell. E.g. what DB library do you want to pick? In Yesod you have many options, in IHP we'll provide one out of the box). Check out the IHP documentation and compare it to the Yesod docs, you'll quickly see the difference :) Also if you want to check out some reviews of people already using IHP, you can find a few long

er ones on our G2 page https://www.g2.com/products/ihp/reviews > Can I create rest and especially graphql apis or is it more focused on building old-school server side rendered pages? At the start IHP was focussed a lot on server-side rendering. Now you can also use it for building REST APIs. GraphQL is not yet supported, but it's coming in the future. We're also right now working on a generic REST API layer with a bundled JS SDK. It will allow you to query your database, create and delete models and keep everything in sync with a realtime sync engine. Here's a JS code example: const tasks = await query('tasks') .orderBy('createdAt') .fetch() On the backend we use Postgres Row-level-security Policies to make sure that a user can only access his own data. Here's a demo react component that uses the new JS APIs: https://github.com/digitallyinduced/ihp-datasync-demo/blob/m... Docs are still in progress, but here's a draft https://github.com/digitallyinduced/ihp/commit/39baa4aa23cc6... :)

> programming languages are meant to ease the task of creating computer programs as opposed to writing assembly by hand This! The haskell ecosystem is missing a certain kind of pragmatism. There's a lot of beautiful type abstractions, talking about monads, etc., but not enough builders doing actual application development. In my opinion it's not the language that is bad, but the ecosystem. Missing documentation, missing tooling and infrastructure, no focus on actually building applications. We're trying to fix that with IHP, a new haskell framework with a focus on actual building applications. Imagine the productiveness of rails combined with the typesafety of haskell. 6 months after it's release it's already the second biggest haskell framework, and we just had a new record of weekly active users last week. To me this shows that by fixin
