sqlsync
SQLSync is a collaborative offline-first wrapper around SQLite. It is designed to synchronize web application state between users, devices, and the edge.
Have you taken a peek at sqlsync? It's a cool take where you write your entire application logic to operate as transactions and queries over a sqlite database but you do it in wasm so that the same transaction logic can run everywhere. The end result is nifty. That's at least my recollection of the thing.

Project mention: Earthstar – A database for private, distributed, offline-first applications | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-01-31
I believe this is superseded by the Willow protocol [0] which was posted here a while back.
I tried to read about Willow, but could never make heads or tails of it [1]. It seems to be a hierarchical key value store with a bunch of extra fields for timestamps and cryptographic tokens, but it's woefully short on working examples. Even the recent Rust library [2] is effectively a bunch of abstract classes with implementations that just throw errors.
I could make a quip about the state of European tech sophistication, but I'll let it pass with a polite smile.
