Dexie.js VS BuddyPress

The word on the street is that https://github.com/rhashimoto/wa-sqlite is nearly production ready, closing in on the neat 1.0.0 release, with its IDBBatchAtomic engine highly recommended at https://www.powersync.com/blog/sqlite-persistence-on-the-web. You can try out the benchmark https://rhashimoto.github.io/wa-sqlite/demo/benchmarks.html.

And the other contestant is Dexie, stable https://dexie.org/.

If you were to branch into a new venture today, which one would you pick? And why?

That said, there are some great ways to wrap IndexedDB to make it easier to work with. Since I’m writing this article I’ll toss in my local-first framework Verdant, which can be used without the sync features as a standalone IndexedDB-powered database with a type-safe schema and deployable data migrations. For a lighter-weight approach, maybe check out Dexie.

Using IndexedDB. I have heard its pretty cumbersome to use. There are wrappers like Dexie.js but I am not sure if it works seamlessly with Tauri or if it is the correct thing for my use case.

I use IndexedDB, specifically the idb library (https://github.com/jakearchibald/idb), or Dexie.js (https://dexie.org/) if you are more novice. This works great for large sets of data. For smaller amounts, Chrome Storage API will do.

To make things easier, Dexie.js provides a straightforward and simplified process of creating databases, storing data, updating data and database migrations, etc., over the top of indexedDB.

If you are just looking for a solution for your IndexedDB needs I find Dexie to be one of the best but depending on other needs, the others in the list are also good to consider.

BuddyPress - https://buddypress.org/

The final thought that comes to mind is BuddyPress, a plugin for WordPress sites. A pretty decent option if you already have a WordPress site setup.

As you're building a community site to allow parents and foster parents to create their own user profiles and potentially interact with each other, buddypress can do a lot of the heavy lifting for you.

I'd probably be remiss if I didn't also mention buddypress, which some like for creating a social/community space based on WordPress. I much prefer a forum, but you should at least look into buddypress a little.

Yes you can make the site in Wordpress. Some development work needed for sure. Please check Buddypress https://buddypress.org/ This a free plugin by Automattic.

My long-term plan: Adding BuddyPress support ( https://buddypress.org/ ) so basically wordpress+quasar social system with groups, forums, private chats etc. Adding WooCommerce support ( https://woocommerce.com/ ) so e-commerce..
