🎉 TinyJoin v0.5.0! The newest (and tiniest!) browser database in town already has @drizzle.team and @kysely.dev support. Would love feedback - you can scaffold it up in an instant with `npm create tinyjoin@latest`

🚨 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...

And I should add that… if this project spurs either team into making browser databases much faster and smaller (with or without rewriting them in Rust!), it will have achieved a valuable purpose.

`npm create tinyjoin@latest` to give it a test drive. And tinyjoin.org for more info.

👋 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.

🎉 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!

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!

James Pearce @jamespearce.bsky.social · 20/05/2025

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.

James Pearce @jamespearce.bsky.social · 20/05/2025

Yep, but this is very useful in tests where you want to prove an API's implementation is more defensive than its type declarations alone.

James Pearce @jamespearce.bsky.social · 13/03/2025

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 🤣

No, nothing in the protocol. I would probably implement this for now with a schema or ‘mutator’ listeners on each store.

📑 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! 👇
