I have done a little more reading and it appears that one fundamental difference between InstantDB and ElectricSQL is that InstantDB does not sync with standard PostgreSQL tables. ElectricSQL does. If that understanding is correct, then In

Is it correct to assume that if your existing application has lots of data stored in standard PostgreSQL tables, you can't have InstantDB sync with it? In other words it primarily targets brand new projects or projects that can complet

I have been eyeing Electric SQL lately for developing a local-first app. How does InstantDB compare with Electric SQL? Side note: Electric SQL is currently going through a rewrite, so things are a bit up in the air.

Instead of reading conspiratorial books from authors with a profit motive, ask a simple question. If there was election fraud, how come the conservative super majority in the supreme court is not all over it? Ask for evidence first, before
