I want to create a local first, offline/p2p realtime multiplayer prototype app soon with reactive/signal data model and frontend agnostic design (considering solidjs/svelte). I'm on a tech research stage. How does it compare to rxdb, tinybase and zero sync? For reference right now I'm considering tinydb/rxdb.

For P2P multiplayer with Svelte/SolidJS, SyncKit might not be your best fit because:

- It's client-server (not P2P)

- No Svelte adapters yet (coming in v0.2.0)

- Multiplayer games usually need P2P for lower latency

Better options for your use case:

- Jazz (jazz.tools) - Purpose-built for P2P collaborative apps

- TinyBase - Perfect signal model for Svelte/Solid, but you'd add your own sync

- Yjs - Mature CRDT with good P2P support

- RxDB - Heavier but has everything (queries, reactive, plugins)

If you went client-server instead of P2P, SyncKit would work once v0.2.0 adds Svelte support.

What's your preference? P2P or client-server? That'll determine the best fit.

Currently I am leaning more into P2P for the zero-effort user side setup, although I was considering if hybrid P2P/client-server approach is feasible: free lite P2P vs paid, managed SaaS for user convenience and improved performance.
