• Ask HN: How Can I Make My Front End React to Database Changes in Real-Time?

  I'm interested in this problem also! I think there is a large overlap with projects that market/focus on offline-first experiences. AFAIK this problem can be solved by: 1) Considering a client-side copy of the database that gets synced with the remote DB. This is an approach [PowerSync](https://www.powersync.com/) and [ElectricSql](https://electric-sql.com/) and [rxdb](https://rxdb.info/) take! - Source: Hacker News / 10 days ago

• You can't leak users' data if you don't hold it

  Hey, after I posted that, I went and gave a second look online to see if I could find something that would allow me to develop a local-first app with offline persistence and syncing capabilities. I ended up finding some possibilities out there that could potentially help me build stuff. One of them is RxDB [1], which offers WebRTC syncing - you'd still need a signaling server, I suppose, but all sensitive... - Source: Hacker News / 30 days ago

• SignalDB: Bringing Meteor-Like Reactivity to the Modern Age

  About a year ago, I discovered a cool offline-first framework called RxDB. Initially, I thought that on the frontend side, this was exactly what I had been searching for over the past years. After tinkering around and even using it in production for some time, I realized that it wasn't well-suited for my intended use. RxDB was initially created as an RxJS layer for PouchDB with a server replication interface.... - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• Show HN: ElectricSQL, Postgres to SQLite active-active sync for local-first apps

  Congrats to the team. Once I’ve tried https://rxdb.info/ and it wasn’t funny at all to do the remote replication (PG) and to deal with conflicts. I do need to check this out! - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• What did I do to deserve a JavaScript database?

  For anyone who wants to not only make jokes but actuall learn something, I recommend to start with exploring the github repo: https://github.com/pubkey/rxdb. Source: over 1 year ago

• edit home page to add folder section

  Then in the "foldername" you can have 5 folders, each one for each of the groups. This means that when group1 enters looker.com, his default page will be the "foldername", which contains group1folder (he cannot see the rest of the folders if you have set the permissions correctly for each folder).

• Stars, tables, and activities: How do we model the real world?

  Even if you want to make Wide Tables, combining fact and dimensions is often the easiest way to create them, so why not make them available? Looker, for example, is well suited to dimensional models because it takes care of the joins that can make Kimball warehouses hard to navigate for business users. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• dbt for Data Quality Testing & Alerting at FINN

  We take daily snapshots of test results, aggregate them, and send Looker dashboards to the appropriate teams. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

• I'm a dev ID 10 T please help me

  Dashboard: I like to use Datastudio because it's easy (just like using google sheets), but you can also try out Looker. Source: over 2 years ago

• The Data Stack Journey: Lessons from Architecting Stacks at Heroku and Mattermost

  For Growth and larger, I would recommend Looker. The only reason I wouldn't recommend it for the smaller company stages is that the cost is much higher than alternatives such as Metabase. With Looker, you define your data model in LookML, which Looker then uses to provide a drag-and-drop interface for end-users that enables them to build their own visualizations without needing to write SQL. This lets your... - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago
