Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Client-side JS library for building local-first browser apps. Handles sync, conflicts, encryption, network connectivity, etc. The database is document oriented. Reactive APIs provide real-time UI updates by default, making collaborative apps easy to build. Works on any platform and can connect with backend storage on S3.

Tradeoffs

Connecting to S3 is still experimental and not straightforward to set up.
