Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Show HN: Roast my SQLite encryption at-rest
> PS: I've got nothing against Turso, or libSQL. In fact I spent the last year perusing their virtual WAL API. The problem is that I found no documentation, nor any useful open source implementations of it. If there any I'd be very interested. So, thus far, I also don't have anything that drives towards libSQL.
Hey, this is v and I am an engineer at Turso. We do have some documentation and an example implementation of Virtual WAL
docs: https://github.com/tursodatabase/libsql/blob/ef44612/libsql-...
example: https://github.com/tursodatabase/libsql/blob/ef44612/libsql-...
for an open source implementation, you may check how Bottomless works. Bottomless is another project which does back up like litestream and it internally implements a Virtual WAL.
Bottomless - https://github.com/tursodatabase/libsql/tree/main/bottomless
I am sure we can improve our docs, make it more discover-able and easy to find. I am open to feedback and suggestions!

11 Planetscale alternatives with free tiers
Astro DB is powered by LibSQL, an open source fork of SQLite that was created by Turso. You can use Astro DB's drop-in database to build features like blogs, comment functionality, forums, feedback systems, and user authentication.

"If this one guy got hit by a bus, the software would fall apart."
sqlite already had an active community fork started by Turso called libsql. They are fixing longstanding API gaps the upstream team isn’t interested in supporting. For example, they added a native write-ahead log API, so you can plug directly into the WAL for streaming replication. This is possible-ish with upstream sqlite + LiteFs but litefs has to implement a whole FUSE file system and can’t run on Mac for that reason.
It’s more risky to run libsql because new features mean new bugs, but it seems worth it to me.

Show HN: My Go SQLite driver did poorly on a benchmark, so I fixed it
A bit of a tangent but for those who’d like to use SQLite for a backend, running it as a separate daemon could be an interesting choice, which would also remove there need of Cgo for the build and maybe make things like separate background job processes easier to accomplish. See [1], [2].

- LibSQL, a fork of SQLite accepting third-party contributions

SQLite builds for WASI since 3.41.0
https://www.sqlite.org/copyright.html
To summarize, instead of using one of the OSS licenses, the copyright holders simply declare the source to be in the public domain. In order to preserve that status they don't accept patches unless you submit some signed document that you agree with that.
To make things more complicated, they also use their a relatively niche version management system instead of git. Which would complicate making contributions (if they accepted them).
There's a popular fork that fixes all of these issues: https://github.com/libsql/libsql It is MIT licensed, on Github, and open for contributions.
Kind of a weird legal situation for a popular project like this that so many people depend on to have. Not judging; but it is odd. Seems like a lot of wasted efforts between users, would be contributors, and the people that forked this thing to address all that.

Get started with libSQL, a next-gen fork of SQLite
For a comprehensive view, check out the issues list for libSQL core and sqld. But mostly, I want libSQL to be a home for all builders who believe there is room to take a lean, mean, and SQLite-compatible embedded database to new heights. I’d love to see your contribution!
