Instant founder here. Since this blog post was written (Jan 11):

* We added some serious typescript types

* We have sorting and ordering on fields

* We added the $like operator

* We added reactive queries on the backend

We're on a mission to make the best DX possible for building apps. We take your feedback seriously, and ship as quick as we can.

As the author mentions in the comments here:

> InstantDB has matured massively and is definitely worth a look for anyone starting a new project.

If you get a chance to try us out, we'd love feedback :)

I find InstantDB's page confusing: How far is it open-source and self-hostable ? I don't mind you having a sustainable cash flow, but it all seems a bit unclear which parts are fully open-source and self-hostable.
