We do support Replicache: https://i.imgur.com/R1pR58i.png.
But I get it. Unfortunately something like this cannot be a sidecar, or at least I do not know how to make it one. It's central to your app in the way that React is.
Fortunately the category is expanding and there are several sync engines that plug in exactly how Zero does - by replicating your database. You can switch between them easily. So as long as you think you do need a sync engine you aren't that married to Zero specifically.
Here's a demo of that!
Which is exactly why I said this problem is better solved by your own custom sync engine which when scoped to your own problem is not as hard to build as you think the most simpler and effective version is just a change_log and replaying or occasional full sync.
My own app uses something like this and I have yet to encounter any issue whereas I did initially look into using electricsql , zero sync , instantdb , triplit but the amount of lock-in or DSL was not my cup of tea and most of these are now doing "AI Agents" marketing instead of their core original problem which further erodes any trust.
Did you look at PowerSync? It's "just" SQLite on the client. Wound be curious to hear what you think of it in the context of your lock in concerns
