Yeah but I feel like it could be used for that, if only retrieval and storage could be done incrementally…
Correct. I think this could be done, but I would need to think a little about how best to. Thank you for the idea!
Personally built similar but incomplete solutions in my projects way more times that I’d like to admit. Could you elaborate on your roadmap on CRDT / real time collaboration? If it’s in plan and will be executed correctly I’m completely sold. Anyway, congrats, looks awesome.
In the meantime try opening up the drawing demo (https://tinybase.org/demos/drawing/) in two or more (of the same) browser windows and move things around. This is just via local storage but imagine how cool it would be to have that across broader collaboration...

The font is unreadable, very thin
Ouch, tough crowd, but fair enough! I wonder if I should have a font-weight (or -family) toggle alongside the dark mode setting. Would be a shame for people to miss out on reading about the software because of the typography!
Meta: hacker news is known for this, but it's really not personal (modulo very few mean folks). People have an adversarial mindset and will poke holes in everything, even things that are awesome. If the biggest critique against your project is the font (superficial) you can interpret is as an absence of more fundamental criticism.
Fonts and fancy looking things in particular tend to be critizised extra hard if it interferes with accessibility or scroll (scroll jacking comes with capital punishment in the hacker news universe). If you want 0 critique the safest option is #000 Times New Roman on #fff background. Then you will please the hacker news zeitgeist (at the expense of everyone else).
What I want is to be able to define my tables with something like JSON schema, and automatically have the typescript typings available when querying. The data would be serialised to Git friendly json, and there would also be support for different media types which get saved and organised in the local file system.
For me, a game developer who wants to be very hands on with bespoke tooling/editor functionality, I only want a simple foundational base, something along the lines of Airtable, with the workflow centred around Git.
If anyone's interested my current workaround is piping JSONL between my processes (and into files) and it works pretty well, but lacks more advanced features.

Howdy! What are the rough edges when persisting to a server? What are the gaps relative to something like PouchDB?
Honestly, just my personal confidence currently. There's very basic locking and store-wide read-write. I really aspire to some sort of CRDT implementation that can be considered a bit more state-of-the-art and tolerant to the innumerable challenges of that problem.
This kind of solution can be built on top of TinyBase without CRDTs.
I didn't have much trouble binding PouchDB into a Vue reactive data store so the reactive part didn't seem as novel to me. What does seem novel is supporting a proper relational schema for this, whereas all the other options I know in this space are schemaless / key-value type approaches.
I wonder if t might be a high-value / low effort proposition to come up with an out-of-the-box setup with something like PostgREST that would then work end to end? This was the super compelling part for me with the Pouch/Couch combo, as with a couple of configs and barely any code your browser localStorage is suddenly sync'd and saved remotely in real time which is mind blowing when you first experience it.
Author here, if anyone has any thoughts or feedback. Bring it on!
I've been looking for something like this but sadly I can't use it because I can't rely on JS. I wish there was some decent local-first event based db that was language agnostic. Very few projects are reactive/streaming. If anyone's interested my current workaround is piping JSONL between my processes (and into files) and it works pretty well, but lacks more advanced features.

I do not want to take on CRDT lightly, since I want to make sure it doesn't balloon the library - it'd probably be an optional module. I feel like that's one of the next big things to tackle, so does v3.0 sound good? :) In the meantime try opening up the drawing demo ( https://tinybase.org/demos/drawing/ ) in two or more (of the same) browser windows and move things around.

I need to revisit the space soon. Hopefully I’m wrong because I think CRDTs will play an important role in the next generation of applications. A smooth on-ramp for existing apps would do wonders for adoption.
