@carlton @electric Thanks, should be awesome. Going to have to build a demo using a Django backend to keep my hand in!

I'm really excited to have joined the team at ElectricSQL @electric building the sync layer for the future of #LocalFirst apps.
What we are building enables offline capable, realtime multiplayer, collaborative apps with bidirectional eventually consistent sync between Postgres and SQLite!
