Hey this is great to see, congrats on the launch!

I've been researching 'local first' solutions like electric recently and tried out powersync, triplit and instant for now. All three of these solve for both reading and writing to databases, with offline support.

Wondering if you have plans to support writes too.

Check out our guide on writes — https://electric-sql.com/docs/guides/writes

There's a variety of valid patterns for writes & we don't want to be prescriptive about how you do them. We aim instead to help you easily use Electric with your preferred/required write pattern.

It's possible we'll write our own write library but it's equally likely we'll continue to find it better to partner with other projects building excellent libraries (like we are with https://livestore.dev/).

Super exciting! I've been following LiveStore development, and been looking forward to a beta launch. I didn't know Electric was sponsoring LiveStore.
