Add link to "official" fork

[RollingHog]

Since this won't be supported anymore, maybe owner should add a link to what would be recognized as a "official" and stable fork of this repo, like https://github.com/seald/nedb/ ?

Another good link to be added is https://github.com/bajankristof/nedb-promises#readme , since callbacks are you know, a little uncomfortable.

Also perhaps https://github.com/typicode/lowdb deserves a mention as a solid alternative

@RollingHog We released a version of our fork which removes the use of async in favor of a Promise-based executor, and which exposes a Promise-based interface:

https://github.com/seald/nedb/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#300---2022-03-16

a Promise-based executor

@tex0l why did you choose the promise-based executor?

[tex0l]

a Promise-based executor

@tex0l why did you choose the promise-based executor?

Because doing it without async but with the built-in ES6 Promise makes it dependency-free.

With Chez and Gambit callback-based code is ten times faster, than colored async code.

At Seald (for which we maintain this fork), we don't observe any performance issue with our implementation. If you want to do a benchmark between the historical version of nedb & our latest version with async code, feel free. I don't think there is a 10x difference.

Even if there is on some environments, as the whole JS ecosystem moves towards async code, I don't think going back to callbacks is a good idea. The subsequent versions of node.js & browsers will catch up the difference if there's any.
