Best offline&local database to use with electron?
Not quite a database, but I use electron-store for persistent storage. It has a super simple API, and it stores data in a config.json file that’s mostly hidden from the user unless they know where to look.

Something like mongoose in electron?
The electron-store package works well with simple data.

What is the proper way to permanently store data in Electron in 2023?
I've seen electron-store, but it seems to be a volatile store. Each time I open the app, it seems I must create a new Store(). The doc explains clearly how to perform crud operation in a new store, but not how to retrieve existing data when re-opening the app 10 days later. If the lib can actually do it, how to do so?

Question about data persistence within electron app
With Electron, you have disk access via Node.js (fs.writeFile, etc), so you can save user preferences to the user's hard drive. See https://github.com/sindresorhus/electron-store for a library that makes it super easy and provides you with some nice conventions for working with the file system from an Electron app.

Ask HN: How Can I Make My Front End React to Database Changes in Real-Time?
I'm interested in this problem also!
I think there is a large overlap with projects that market/focus on offline-first experiences.
AFAIK this problem can be solved by:
1) Considering a client-side copy of the database that gets synced with the remote DB. This is an approach [PowerSync](https://www.powersync.com/) and [ElectricSql](https://electric-sql.com/) and [rxdb](https://rxdb.info/) take!

You can't leak users' data if you don't hold it
Hey, after I posted that, I went and gave a second look online to see if I could find something that would allow me to develop a local-first app with offline persistence and syncing capabilities.
I ended up finding some possibilities out there that could potentially help me build stuff. One of them is RxDB [1], which offers WebRTC syncing - you'd still need a signaling server, I suppose, but all sensitive information could be synced E2E-encrypted via WebRTC.
Then there's CRDT's [2], which is a universe that turned out to have multiple possibilities that match (at least partially) my needs. In particular, the next thing I want to take a look at is cr-sqlite [3], which might be just thing I needed to kick-off some side-projects.
I'm posting here cause I just found some hope of not needing to build a traditional client-server app and having to deal with all the hassle involved in securing a server (and with fear that my efforts could be not good enough), and I thought someone else could benefit from getting to know these things.

SignalDB: Bringing Meteor-Like Reactivity to the Modern Age
About a year ago, I discovered a cool offline-first framework called RxDB. Initially, I thought that on the frontend side, this was exactly what I had been searching for over the past years. After tinkering around and even using it in production for some time, I realized that it wasn't well-suited for my intended use. RxDB was initially created as an RxJS layer for PouchDB with a server replication interface. Over time, other storage types besides PouchDB were introduced (e.g., IndexedDB, SQLite) and the replication interface became more sophisticated. The replication interface is really cool and exactly what I wanted. The biggest problem I have with RxDB is that it is so tightly coupled with RxJS. While RxJS is technically very powerful, it offers a dreadful developer experience. It's really hard to understand at first and integrating it into an existing codebase, which isn't using RxJS, is tedious.

Show HN: ElectricSQL, Postgres to SQLite active-active sync for local-first apps
Congrats to the team. Once I’ve tried https://rxdb.info/ and it wasn’t funny at all to do the remote replication (PG) and to deal with conflicts. I do need to check this out!
