https://theconversation.com/us/who-we-are is one of my favorites. Global academics writing about their research when something happens in the world or when they are published in a journal.
I'm aware of it but was wanted to create something that I can just quickly point at a running system and make a backup. This is a narrower use case and I accept that it's not for everyone.
Source code to the client which explains the code running on your system and how I use safe(r) sqlite3 APIs to copy a running database: https://github.com/sqlrsync/client
Litestream is excellent however I wanted something that I could spin up faster without as much finickyneess as setting g up and securing new S3 credentials, and ideally a way to broadcast out updates.
For example I have a sqlite db in my userdir on most servers I (personally) ssh into with "things I'd like to remember" (using dnote for spaced reptition). When I make a change to that file using "dnote", sqlrsync waits until changes stop, performs the sqlite3_rsync, and Cloudflare sends a websocket message to subscribers of that file (me on other servers) to pull down updates when they can.
I'd also like to add "dead man's alarms", etc. So it's bells and whistles around an easier-to-use sqlite.org/rsync.
I'm a huge fan of Pocketbase. Backing up the sqlite though had me more stressed than I'd prefer, and I wanted a plug-and-play way to sqlite3_rsync a backup while Pocketbase was running: so I've been working on this: https://sqlrsync.com. MVP works. Billing isn't being checked yet (be gentle but it's Cloudflare Durable Objects underneath so it should be local, fast, and resilient.) Would love feedback from anyone open to trying it.
As a long time engineering manager, I have significantly benifited from this: leveling me up in WCAG/ADA, strcmp timing attacks, performance timing. Many managers start younger than we maybe should, and the burnout that I had in my early years pulled me out of my passion to learn more about comp sci. It was the random enthusiasm of younger folk that, in those times, was my exposure to topics I hadn't dived in to yet.
I have witnessed hiring, listening, and supporting early-career enthusiasm has significantly improved every startup I've had the joy to be a part of.
