🚨 OK, time for some provocative benchmarks. TinyJoin is only at v0.4.0 so it is WILD that it’s already much smaller than, often faster than, and never slower than, both SQLite and PGlite. Pushback please. tinyjoin.org/guides/bench...

👋 Say hello to @TinyJoin, a tiny relational database for browser apps. Built in Rust, and hosted as WASM on a worker thread, it's designed for rich local-first apps - and to challenge a few of the web's dated architectural assumptions.

👀 Local-first data analytics with TinyBase, anyone?

🎉 Introducing create-tinybase! It's a command-line tool to create TinyBase apps with full sync and local-first capabilities. With options like TypeScript, Cloudflare, SQLite, & PGlite, it's never been quicker to get started. `npm create tinybase@latest` Have fun and let us know how it goes!

Is it me or is the Google News algorithm now dominated by press releases from the US government?

What's the point of having BPM and key in Spotify playlists if you can't sort?

Unable to attend this week's awesome-looking @syncconf.bsky.social, I've decided instead to offer a tribute in the only form I know how: a new open source project. 👐 I believe sync is a fundamental part of modern app development. Hopefully I can help make it easier. Please follow along!

Why do I have to opt-OUT of things like Tailwind (for example) when using AI coding tools? Surely it should default to use more low-level and efficient primitives than abstractions that were often only designed for human DX.

There's a lot more to a local-first app than just a sync engine. For example, as I experimented building more complex apps, I soon realized I also needed to manage background tasks more intelligently: `setTimeout` and yolo just isn't good enough! So now we have TinyTick 🤣

So many new followers. Happy new year everyone and make sure to check out @tinybase.bsky.social too! 🙏

Certainly more excited about this launch than the fact that Bluesky doesn't render the animated GIF that goes with it! 😢

📑 New 'Architectural Options' guide. We had feedback that it's hard to understand all the different ways that TinyBase can be used! So... our new guide runs through many of the ways you can persist & synchronize data - both natively and with other platforms. Link below! 👇

That feeling when the app data syncs faster than the CSS loads. TinyBase v5.4 is going to be fun!

Awesome to see all the local-first fans on here already. Like for a follow if I haven’t found you yet!
