Twitter Clone

Experimenting with Dolt, a version controlled database.

Why do I find dolt interesting?

• Managing SQL databases is always a pain. Dolt provides a better UX.
• Therefore, prototyping ideas becomes easier, especially since Dolt supports CSV import. This allows me to gradually add features to the database.
• For smaller projects, performance isn't the most important thing.
• Having access to public databases through DoltHub is handy
