6 months ago we did a Show HN about PowerSync [1], a Postgres-SQLite sync layer for building local-first and offline-first apps. We received lots of feedback, including comments asking about self-hosting and open-source.
Today we are announcing a major overhaul: making the product self-hostable and releasing the core sync service source code under the FSL license. We figured hackers interested in local-first software would like to know about this.

If you have any feedback or questions for us, we’d like to hear it :)
