Those of you who made the swap. What benefit did you experience if any? Specifically relating to aspects that were improved by the use of a database.
speed, consistency, and improved querying/UI
i have a moderately large graph and had a poor experience using git-based syncing between multiple devices, on large pages i would see latency, and outside of basic queries i had to figure out a new programming language to do abything useful with queries
all of those are fixed for me now. speed and consistency haven’t given me any issues even on larger pages (although massive queries do have some lazy loading pains). data sync has veen infinitely improved, with real time changes using a self hosted sync.
i try to stay on a stable release and occasionally test importing my graph into a newer nightly but it’s called “bleeding” edge for a reason so i try ro avoid it
querying is greatly improved- i persobally wnjoy the metatag approach (NewTags as they’re referred to here i think). haven’t had a single case where i needed to lookup a query syntax to make something work

Mainly, the #Tags, I was already using something similar with the page-type:: property, but it was clunky and very manual, also tried the supertags plugin, but it wasnt available on android.
