     I have used GunDB a lot in the past. It’s awesome and I miss it. The graph database aspect in particular was genius. It just wasn’t very stable. @4523be58 started a rust port of it, but then switched to Nostr.
     
     Here is a good tutorial https://youtu.be/68svY76thiQ
     
     And part 2 covers namespaces and encryption https://youtu.be/FauETOkRtEk

     I think my favorite part of all was that the user OWNED their own data.
     
     The user could tombstone (overwrite as null) their own stuff. Or even just overwrite to edit it.
     
     It felt like the user had real, actual freedom. They weren’t at the mercy of server operators.

     Also check out the architecture for a decentralized website commenting system built on it. The included cryptography tools made stuff like shared secrets really fun

     @alex https://github.com/notabugio/notabug is dead and https://github.com/irislib/iris moved on to nostr
     
     good for demos, but it's hardly usable for big projects
     you already have a decentralized websocket based platform to build on
