A bunch of new followers here, so I thought I would introduce @ElectricSQL and how PGlite fits in. We are building a CDN native sync engine that can move your data in real time to where you need it. There are a few buzz words in there, so what do we mean? 🧵1/11.

Background agents with @cursor_ai are a game changer for me - particularly the mobile UI. I can be out and about (literally on holiday 😬), describe what I'm thinking, check in a couple of times, then pick it up on a laptop later on when home. Amazing!.

Not long now!. Talks are shaping up great and we’re well past venue capacity. @devYonz is airborn. @samwillis has sorted out the pineapple cubes and cocktail sausages. If you’re in London on Tuesday and have been lurking so far, now’s your last chance!.

We're getting close to alpha, and it's looking really nice. We've found some very great abstractions and patterns that I think your going to love!.
Excited to share a new starter for building apps with @expo, @tan_stack DB & @ElectricSQL. TanStack DB is nearing its first alpha so we're fine-tuning, writing docs, and building starters.
