🎉 Introducing create-tinybase!
It's a command-line tool to create TinyBase apps with full sync and local-first capabilities.
With options like TypeScript, Cloudflare, SQLite, & PGlite, it's never been quicker to get started.
`npm create tinybase@latest`
Have fun and let us know how it goes!
Is it me or is the Google News algorithm now dominated by press releases from the US government?
It's 2011, and this iconic image is an inspiring way to start every work day.
Wishing the TinyBase community a happy festive season, wherever you are in the world!
We finished the year with some gifts in the form of a bunch of cool v7.x releases. Go check them out, and stay tuned for an exciting 2026 roadmap.
Thank you everyone!
What's the point of having BPM and key in Spotify playlists if you can't sort?
👀🤫
Made a tune! Still got a lot to learn about production & mastering though...

December is shipping month at TinyBase Towers!
Unable to attend this week's awesome-looking @syncconf.bsky.social, I've decided instead to offer a tribute in the only form I know how: a new open source project. 👐
I believe sync is a fundamental part of modern app development. Hopefully I can help make it easier.
Please follow along!
Why do I have to opt-OUT of things like Tailwind (for example) when using AI coding tools?
Surely it should default to use more low-level and efficient primitives than abstractions that were often only designed for human DX.
Yep, but this is very useful in tests where you want to prove an API's implementation is more defensive than its type declarations alone.
There's a lot more to a local-first app than just a sync engine.
For example, as I experimented building more complex apps, I soon realized I also needed to manage background tasks more intelligently: `setTimeout` and yolo just isn't good enough!
So now we have TinyTick 🤣
So many new followers. Happy new year everyone and make sure to check out @tinybase.bsky.social too! 🙏
This podcast was released 5 months ago, but I just listened. Wow, so many insights and inspirations!
TinyBase - The reactive data store for local-first apps by James Pearce @jamespearce.bsky.social
No, nothing in the protocol. I would probably implement this for now with a schema or ‘mutator’ listeners on each store.
Oh man I hope so!
lol can they do my project management too?
🎨 OKLCH Cheatsheet
The highest C (chroma) values for a given L (lightness %) that let you display any H (hue) on a P3 display without fallback:
L=20% C=0.04
L=30% C=0.06
L=40% C=0.09
L=50% C=0.11
L=60% C=0.13
L=70% C=0.15
L=80% C=0.1
L=90% C=0.05
(Thanks @evilmartians.com! 🚀)
Certainly more excited about this launch than the fact that Bluesky doesn't render the animated GIF that goes with it! 😢
📑 New 'Architectural Options' guide.
We had feedback that it's hard to understand all the different ways that TinyBase can be used!
So... our new guide runs through many of the ways you can persist & synchronize data - both natively and with other platforms.

Hermit monk here. Can confirm. But it helps I can catch my own fish.
I think it's going to be a fun local-first week.
I'd love to be at the Monday morning standup when this web team reviews their weekend traffic.
Alright, I think we need a JavaScript library starter pack.
Please help by nominating other accounts to add! 🙏

That feeling when the app data syncs faster than the CSS loads.
TinyBase v5.4 is going to be fun!
When not hacking.

Awesome to see all the local-first fans on here already.
Like for a follow if I haven’t found you yet!

Coming!
