RxDB – a real-time database on top of PouchDB
What's the advantage of this over triggers in a relational database? Or even notify/listen in PostgreSQL? (assuming these triggers are connected to the API, of course).
I guess it's probably a matter of scale, but I really don't know.

It runs fully on the client and is offline first. A listener to PostgreSQL will not work when the device goes offline.

Fair enough, so what about triggers on a sqlite db on the client?

There is a big difference between having a changestream of writes to the database, and observing results of multiple queries.
