[module request] modules that allow reading from and writting to a database

[nathanathan]

Here are some notes on what I would like to see in a database module:

• Having generalized widget for doing AJAX requests would be one approach but it might not be very easy to use. However, it would also allow one to use other sorts of APIs.
• Modules that target specific databases, and specific database hosting providers, would be much more accessible. Ideally, the modules would target databases that have cloud hosting providers with a free tier.
• It would be cool to have a widget that does a "live" query as new rows are added to the database new signals are sent for each row. But that may be a separate issue.

I would like to use this module to build a game lobby for a meemoo online charades game. (However, I wonder if building a dedicated lobby module would be a better idea that making one from database components).

I started a $10 bounty on this issue here: https://www.bountysource.com/issues/1030308-module-request-modules-that-allow-reading-from-and-writting-to-a-database

https://www.firebase.com/ would be a very quick way to experiment with this.

I hadn't seen bountysource.com, so thanks for putting those up. Seems like a cool concept.
