Thanks for the suggestions! I'm familiar with both. Different category though - this is a SQLite extension, not a standalone database. The value prop is:

Zero friction - If you're already using SQLite (Python scripts, mobile apps, embedded systems), just .load graph_extension and you have graph capabilities Mix SQL + Cypher - Join your relational tables with graph traversals in the same query Works everywhere SQLite works - Serverless functions, Raspberry Pi, iOS apps, wherever Leverage SQLite's ecosystem - All existing tools, bindings, deployment patterns just work

Kuzu and CozoDB are excellent if you want a dedicated graph database. But if you've already got SQLite (which is everywhere), this lets you add graph features without rearchitecting.

Think of it like SQLite's FTS5 extension for full-text search - you're not competing with Elasticsearch, you're giving SQLite users a lightweight option that fits their existing workflow.
