Drew Robinson @drewr.dev · 01/04/2026Cool, I see you dug into it, great stuff! Thanks for the credit 😊 000
Drew Robinson @drewr.dev · 01/04/2026As for the new `turso` Rust crate, I'm keeping an eye on progress but it's still maturing. Once it's stable this would probably be a new project anyway, `ecto_turso`, as it will probably be distinct and have more features, especially in the cloud syncing area. 001
Drew Robinson @drewr.dev · 01/04/2026Good news, `ecto_libsql` already supports both of those! Vector search works today via helper functions, see hexdocs.pm/ecto_libsql/... and hexdocs.pm/ecto_libsql/... Full text search is also built into libSQL so you can use it directly with raw SQL (CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE ... USING fts5).hexdocs.pmEctoLibSql.Native — EctoLibSql v0.9.0 010

Drew Robinson @drewr.dev · 23/01/2026It eventually will be, yes. Turso (the company) is writing turso (the Rust rewrite of SQLite), but it’s still in alpha pretty much. 000

Drew Robinson @drewr.dev · 22/01/2026Thanks Petar! I’m building this as a side project for another side project I’m working on, as I wanted pretty much exactly that—Phoenix LiveView running distributed and accessing distributed libSQL data stores. 130

Drew Robinson @drewr.dev · 06/09/2025In my opinion Google & MS have done enormous amounts of damage to the web in various ways, maybe more than Apple. However, having now finished reading your original piece, I do agree with some of your reasoning from your point of view in the world of web standards. 100
Drew Robinson @drewr.dev · 04/09/2025I’m enjoying your rant, but the weapons-grade irony of this article, written from your POV as ex-Google Chrome and current-Microsoft Edge, is really quite something to behold. 100

Drew Robinson @drewr.dev · 01/05/2025@jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social @lopatto.bsky.social @tinanguyen.bsky.social Uh, this really doesn’t look good. Short story: Signal chats on the Defence Advisor’s phone appear to be being backed up by a third party app to a tech company run by Israeli ex-intelligence staffers. On purpose. 030
Reposted by Drew RobinsonMdh @mdh2.bsky.social · 01/05/2025And this is the management bio of the company. In conclusion I think this company seems to have direct access to the US national security advisors classified messages and NOBODY IS REPORTING ON IT??? 834559
Reposted by Drew RobinsonMdh @mdh2.bsky.social · 01/05/2025So this is the app he appears to be using which already sounds incredibly suspect in that all of the normal security guarantees about signal just went out the window entirely. This is explicitly backing up all messages to a 3rd party 531957
Reposted by Drew RobinsonMdh @mdh2.bsky.social · 01/05/2025I saw this story breaking about Mike Waltz and noticed something weird about his phone in that he isn’t actually using “signal” as in the secure messaging app but is using something MUCH worse that I haven’t seen reported on yet.
