Key quotes
· 3 pulledBitfield is the world's fastest plug-in runtime and database for founders who want their product to get huge without slowing down when plans change.
Build fast today without trading away structure for scale: features become slots and communicate through storage like a mail room, so your 100th feature is as fast to build as your first.
Works offline, runs on any device, keeps data local/private by default, syncs over any connection, runs executables, stores duplicates once, and replays events.
