Local first is fantastic. But something that I can't figure out is why the OG of local first, RxDB, never gets any love.
As far as I can tell, it's VASTLY more capable than all of these new options. It has full-text search, all sorts of query optimizations, different storage backends in both the browser and server, and more.
RxDB is the OG? I thought it was PouchDB.
Fair enough, rxdb was originally built on pouchdb, but now doesn't support it anymore since that project has a lot of issues.

My point/question still stands though - rxdb seems to be vastly more capable than all of the new tools that get all the attention. Very peculiar
