It's kind of hard for me to think of a devtool as local-first or not, since the actual definition of local-first [1] talks about end-user software, not devtools. So the question is whether it's possible to build software that adheres to the local-first principles using sqlite-sync. edit: I'm aware people are using the term "local-first" very loosely, so perhaps my reply here is a bit off-topic p.s. yes you can self-host ElectricSQL p.p.s. I really need to keep my list of "sqlite sync" things updated: I have SQLSync [2], SQLiteSync [3] and now SQLite-Sync [4]. Simple!

In Why haven't local-first apps become popular?
This is content marketing for a open-source SQLite extension called `sqlite-sync` [0]. It seems pretty cool, implementing CRDTs and some networking directly in SQLite. Unfortunately this extension "is tightly integrated with SQLite Cloud." It doesn't support peer-to-peer syncing or self-hosting a central source of truth. The project is really just a client for the sqlite.ai cloud service. [0] https://github.com/sqliteai/sqlite-sync
