Score: 6.8/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 8, Documentation: 6, Utility: 7)

Honker is a SQLite extension that brings Postgres-style NOTIFY/LISTEN semantics to SQLite, enabling durable pub/sub, task queues, and event streams without external brokers. Its integration of push-based event delivery via WAL file monitoring and cross-language bindings makes it a novel approach for adding messaging capabilities to SQLite-based applications.

Target audience: backend devs, data engineers, devops
