Just a counter datapoint, the Firebase comparison is what got me to click on the link and check it out. I'm a huge Firestore fan... here's what would get me to try something new:

- Better user permissions, ability to actually see my users and user permissions in a UI

- Better ability to choose conflict resolution logic

- Tied to that, ability to get "patches" from the server... right now if a change happens in my Firestore document, the server sends the entire document to the client. I'd love to be able to get a patch with just the changed data (and of course send patches to the server too, which it looks like you would support).

- Join queries to save me from needing to do multiple client -> server trips. If it's SQL I'm guessing you would support this.

Very interesting project! I'll be following your progress.

Could you expand on what you mean by "conflict resolution"?
Just that if two people make changes at the same time on different clients, I don't have much control over merging those changes together with Firebase (that I know of). I think it's just a "last change wins" type system.
