Project mention: Show HN: ElectricSQL, Postgres to SQLite active-active sync for local-first apps | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-20

Are you / have you considered leveraging postgres' row level security for this (row filtering)? Feels like a natural fit for ensuring the right subset of data gets to the right users https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/ddl-rowsecurity.html
E2E encryption would also be nice to have, it could be worth having a look at https://www.etesync.com/ for inspiration

backbone-python

3 5 2.0 Python

The framework for building end-to-end encrypted applications.

Project mention: Encrypt. Now | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-17

It's only impractical if you actually require end users to understand and apply all of these technologies. It's a lot more tractable if they're abstracted away.
The fact is that developers very (very) rarely have to interface directly with TLS or the Signal protocol, yet billions of non-technical users implicitly use them in our browsers and via Signal or WhatsApp.
In my view, the challenge in the adoption of secure/private-by-design tech is the simplicity and usability of the interfaces and the capabilities these tools provide.
We need secure tools to compete on capability in order to garner mass usage. Without (significant) feature superiority there's little reason for users to make the switch. I'm actively trying to solve some of these problems at Backbone [0]; aiming to build a usable, secure experience for end users and a simple, robust end-to-end-encryption interface for developers.
