Curious if you've taken a look at ChiselStrike (disclaimer: founder here) ChiselStrike translates typescript to sql transparently (https://blog.chiselstrike.com/my-other-database-is-a-compile...) and works well with Replicache (https://blog.chiselstrike.com/offline-data-access-a-dream-co...)

We don't have that yet. Maybe it will be possible to bootstrap EdgeDB to run on top of SQLite, but that will be a ton of work and limit the schema/language. Nothing prevents you from just running EdgeDB or even bundling in your app except packaging that can get a bit hairy.

Isn't EdgeDB a python program? I fear python packaging - especially inside a browser or Android device.

It's a mix of Python, C, Rust, Cython, etc. It's fully safe-contained though, the fact that there's some Python inside is an implementation detail, you'll never know that as a user.

but, I would know as an app builder if I was running EdgeDB against a local datastore on a user's device, right?

Couchbase-lite seems to do what you're asking. It's backed onto sqlite. It's more sync based than crdt based afaict.

Adding ObjectBox to the list.

https://objectbox.io/

Unfortunately ObjectBox has a proprietary core, which is unfortunate as I'd love to modify it for experimental uses.

Any questions on ObjectBox, happy to answer. We believe (and get the feedback) we've made the APIs very intuitive :)
