Base

This week I built IPDB, a decentralized database concept using Base, IPFS, and PGlite. 

It takes a local database using PGlite, uploads backups to IPFS, and maintains state using smart contracts on Base. Would love to hear what people think!

father. working on /anky - new app coming out on the 20th of november

I would say this is still a pretty rough proof of concept and won’t be a drop in replacement for something like Supabase, but the possibility is out there 👀

can i implement it right away? 👀

(could this be an alternative to supabase for example? im following a react native tutorial and it uses that)

It might depend on the use case, but that generally how PGlite is building itself out to work with ElectricsSQL: have a lightweight local db that syncs with a cloud db

This is really cool. Is it practical to download and store the entire db like this for real apps?

Thanks! I started a week or two ago and had to drop it for a while, but finally got some traction and wrapped it up this week

That’s a very clever idea!
How long did it take you to build it?

Talks about crypto and coffee. Building on-chain algo trading - check out my channels /algo-trading and /python

Perhaps more technically accurate would be backups pinned to nodes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Each node that pins has a copy of the file

But IPFS is a cache and distribution mechanism, not a storage. How can it be a backup?

Super cool! I used OrbitDB a few years ago and was super excited by the promise of distributed databases. Will definitely check this out in a bit! Excited to learn about the on chain mechanism
