   Project mention: SQLiteData: A fast, lightweight replacement for SwiftData using SQL and CloudKit | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-09-17

   The purpose is not iOS 13. But even iOS 17 is hard to use swiftdata on. And many deploy still to iOS 17 or 16.

   But for me the draw is:

   - Can use this outside views, unlike SwiftData

   - Can adopt future improvements without waiting on annual release cycle + several more years until I can sunset older OS compatibility

   - Performance: SwiftData has severe performance issues that are manageable with SQLite

   - Cross-platform: SQLiteData depends on GRDB which is close to merging support for Android (and already supports Linux), at least as an experimental trait: https://github.com/groue/GRDB.swift/pull/1708 By using it with https://skip.tools I can deploy the same SwiftUI codebase to both iOS and Android. And with SwiftCrossUI I can target Windows, Linux too while reusing the same model/persistence layer code.
