On: Show HN: InstantDB – A Modern Firebase

I would not recommend using IndexedDB as your primary storage. This is because browsers can sometimes delete the underlying store (there are various reasons for this, but one is that the user is running out of space on their machines) [1]

If you have access to the file system, I would consider using SQLLite to store everything. If you end up then wanting auth / collaboration, you could try Instant.

Ooo nice read! Since I use tauri, mac would have the browser as safari, and since it's a purely offline app, losing that is disastrous!

I'll move over to SQLite in that case, since that can atleast be persisted! Thanks!
