Not sure, why the HN crowd is so silent about this release, this is BIG news.
To add some hints, why this is worth looking into:
- the PowerSync service was extracted from a working SAAS product that has been up since 2011 allowing to build offline-first apps in a low-code app builder
- this means it is NOT a research project that has yet to see extensive production use and iron out all the bugs and stuff
- the team behind is humble and very resourceful, judging by the amount of open source SDKs that take a lot of effort to maintain
- it supports _PARTIAL_ replication, and this is one of the few (if not the only one) of all the available open source solutions for local-first apps
Always happy to see a new alternative for small off-line-capable apps available to the average indie-developer!
