Nice catch, but god terrible write-up. Please take the time to write it yourself even if you think you will do worse in explaining it than the LLM. It’s so off-putting to read that. Share your prompt or raw article notes even, it will much enjoyable to read than this

> META Total Annual Revenue in 2025: $200.97 billion (up from $164.50 billion in 2024).

They literally don’t care.

And while they paid a reasonable amount of tax in 2025, that was a one off. They normally pay 3-5%.

In which way this is different from PowerSync?

Hey PowerSyncer here :)

Firstly, it's awesome that you are using @sqlite.org/sqlite-wasm for your client-side SQLite database. We really like wa-sqlite ourselves.

We're currently implementing this proposal https://github.com/orgs/powersync-ja/discussions/376, which will speedup the sync throughput a lot - this was a natural next step for us as we have users with massive datasets (syncing a million plus rows).

Sidebar: What has your experience with OPFS+SQLite been like on sqlite-wasm? We have seen our fair share of issues on Safari/web kit.

Hey, nice, looks like I’ll have to rerun the benchmarks soon!

sqlite-wasm with opfs-sahpool has mostly behaved. No OPFS in private mode, storage may be evicted, handles can’t be passed to workers, and webviews may close them when backgrounded.

We open SQLite inside one dedicated worker and proxy other tabs through it, so that avoids some of the mess. Tauri uses native SQLite.
