Recommend an embedded database for use in Electron app
I have used pouchdb as an embedded db for electron - API and performance were not the best, but that was the price to pay for the requirements.

I love PouchDB, it's incredible, however I fear its a project that is loosing it momentum (I do think it has pick up a little over the last year though).
It has a very aggressive stale bot closing issues (this search shows 700 closed stale issues https://github.com/pouchdb/pouchdb/issues?q=is%3Aissue+stale...), some which I really don't think it should have. It gives the impression of a very active but stable platform that I don't necessarily think is accurate.
For example I found a hash collision bug while working on a side project, the issue was closed as stale (https://github.com/pouchdb/pouchdb/issues/8257)

Where do Nomie 5 files live within the Chrome Android App? Looking for redundancy vs local
Sucks that couch doesn't work well for sync :( I was hoping that I could set up sync between my laptop and phone without a server since those are the two primary devices I use. Is this the issue with deletion you were talking about?

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!
