Does xt2 let you annotate txs like datomic does? for example adding in some meta data like the user that made the tx? In datomic I can use these tx annotations along with the data diff to create an activity/audit log for an entity/user. I don't really see anything like that (either tx annotation or built-in diffs) for xt2 though.

Hey @U0V0HQWAE not currently, you would need to model this yourself in a separate table, but it's firmly on my radar and I hope we can prioritise this area soon

Out of interest, which industry are you working in?

Health research/bioinformatics.

I'll wait on the tx metadata - or try it out in its own table. It is not a priority just yet since it is the bi-temporal aspect that is interesting about xt2.
