Future of MicroDB

Open morris opened this issue 9 years ago • 4 comments

It looks like a few people are actively using MicroDB, and I realize that most interest is generated through its name. However, it was only ever a side experiment, as I also realized that SQLite is almost always a better file-based alternative and widely available. I would never recommend MicroDB over SQLite. For a (file-based) JSON storage, I'd even recommend an SQLite table with a text column containing JSON data over MicroDB.

So, sorry if that might seem disappointing, but at this point I don't see any reason to invest time in maintaining MicroDB anymore. If anyone feels like taking over, feel free to fork the project.

In any case, thanks for the interest and effort so far from you guys 🍻 I'll add a notice to the readme soon.

Thanks for the update. But if you cannot maintain it then please update the page/readme stating it clearly, if not many users would assume it works fully and later waste lot of time in researching on it to get it working with potential bugs. Thanks anyway.
