●●SolidSolve My ProblemShip It
Zero native bindings means no node-gyp rebuilds for every Electron version.
Strengths
- •Pure TypeScript eliminates node-gyp and native binding recompilation headaches.
- •Append-only writes with crash-safe batches and offset-based document reads.
- •MongoDB-style find/insert/update API developers already know.
Weaknesses
- •No multi-process write support limits concurrent application scenarios.
- •Early project with two stars and twenty-one commits needs production validation.
