TW be like Graph Databases

[daStretchyCat]

TiddlyWiki is convenient for building a graph topology, and that's why I like it.

Edit: I thought about comparing TW to some Graph DB. Existing Graph DB has access control, fancy visualization tools, scaling solutions (e.g., clustering), and so on. They are nice to have, but I'm not sure if it's viable to implement them.

found the fancy visualization tool!

Hi @daStretchyCat it is fair to view TiddlyWiki as special kind of graph database. We even use indexes to optimise queries just like a real database.

The core was designed to allow other database engines to be dropped in, but there hasn't been a great deal of work on it. I'm particularly interested in using the WASM version of SQLite. The only requirement is that the core database must have a synchronous API. Databases that have an asynchronous API must instead be integrated via a syncer.

Databases that have an asynchronous API must instead be integrated via a syncer.

Could you possibly share an example or explanation of how to implement a syncer for integrating a database with an asynchronous API? Any code snippets, patterns, or libraries? TY
