LOL what are the odds, I posted in `Show HN` about Marmot today https://github.com/maxpert/marmot/releases/tag/v2.2.0 and in my head I was thinking exact same thing for supporting MySQL's JSON datatype. At some level I am starting to feel,…

https://github.com/maxpert/marmot is SQLite replication thats eventually consistent and doesnt require a master server.

comment by JohnnyGault · 2023-10-27 · in Why you should probably be using SQLite

I've written a whole SQLite replication system that works on top of RAFT ( https://github.com/maxpert/marmot ). Best part is RAFT has a well understood and strong library ecosystem as well. I started of with libraries and when I noticed I…
