- posharma 4y agoSQLite is not a fad. It’s just that it never gained so much attention here before.
- cdcarter 4y agoGoogle Trends [0] indicates that sqlite is about as popular as usual. There's been some recent growth in the last year, but that's after a bit of a dip. A regression of the time series would be fairly flat. I suspect popularity here comes in waves through a Katamari Damacy effect. People start reading about a topic, and start posting, thus more people read, research, post, etc... until a saturation point, a cooling off period, and then a rebuild. [0]: obviously not the same as whats happening on HN, I'd love to see someone pull these numbers from the HN API!
- TheRealPomax 4y agoThey were talking about it being a fad here on HN, in terms of submitted (and upvoted to FP) posts per week/month/year. It's always been a topic getting the incidental FP attention, but the number of times something relating to SQLite makes it to the front page here seems to have increased considerably in recent months.
- cdcarter 4y agoI believe I acknowledged that.
