On: Linear sent me down a local-first rabbit hole

[madisvain]

Local first is amazing. I have been building a local first application for Invoicing since 2020 called Upcount https://www.upcount.app/.

First I used PouchDB which is also awesome https://pouchdb.com/ but now switched to SQLite and Turso https://turso.tech/ which seems to fit my needs much better.

On: Ask HN: Have you used SQLite as a primary database?

[madisvain]

VATcomply.com has been using SQLite as a primary database for 2 years and is serving ~70 requests per second without an issue.

I built and sold couple of open source API's I built and am now working on a new one that combines them together to make a complete API product for VAT compliance.

The idea is that you can geocode, show exchange rates and validate VAT numbers all from the same API.

[madisvain]

For complex state flows we use Kea JS. https://kea.js.org/

The library has been around for a while and reduces a lot of boilerplate.

Is also used by some quite big names.

Hoping to start something free today that can add paid features in the future: https://www.upcount.app/

Just a heads up, there appears to be a typo on the front page. I think "Invocing" should be "Invoicing."

[madisvain → Nelkins]

Thank you very much for the heads up. I have updated the title to fix the spelling mistake.

Thank you!
