If you mean like file uploads, they're on the roadmap for sure but are being worked on currently. When we do add this feature, our plan is to add s3 compatible file upload queue that can be used on the client seamlessly whether online or not

Yeah we'd very likely have distinct storage for files but keep the metadata in a Triplit collection. We made a particularly neat file uploading system in the app we built before Triplit and we'd likely replicate that functionality.

Implementation Considerations for DIY'ing it

Regarding file uploads: In our experience, the best approach is to upload any media to a service like S3, R2, etc and then only once you have a URL for the successful upload, insert that entity with the URL. All handled on the client. However, it's all dependent on your apps needs. You can also have generic "uploads" collection where each entity represents some file and you can then update uploads states there and then have a relation that points to the upload.
