localbased v1.3.6

localbased

Localbased is an intuitive no-code tool designed to assist developers, particularly frontend engineers, in quickly setting up a REST API for communicating with databases on their local machines. It aims to simplify the process of creating a backend server and accessing dynamic data, enabling frontend developers to create full-stack side projects without the need to worry about building a REST API or handling database interactions.

Installation
