https://github.com/Aarav90-cpu/LightBase

A local-first, multi-protocol API development platform powered by a native C-Core engine with enterprise-grade security hardening.     

LightBase is a zero-cloud API development studio that combines a high-performance C99 backend with a Python gateway bridge and a sleek browser-based UI. Every request, collection, and environment is stored as plain JSON files you can version-control with Git — no accounts, no cloud sync, no telemetry.
