It got some good discussion back in January, 2024: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38898934

There have been a ton of releases since then. It looked like a pretty interesting project at the time. It made me want to look for a project to use it for but I never got around to it.

I'd be interested to hear from people who have been using it and how keeping up with the releases has been (compatibility / breaking changes in API, ease of migration, issues, etc).

I've been using it for a while. There was only one release that required manual migrations. I think 0.23.0 and apparently the dev is backporting security updates for those who haven't upgraded.

I use Go so all I have to do is `go get -u` and `go mod tidy` and then it's upgraded. It works great.

Is this some sort of supabase but with sqlite and without the operational complexity?

Apparently 1 file just means a static go binary with a bunch of separate assets compiled in.

I guess for some reason I was hoping for source code that was only one file.
