Show HN: Xstatic docs – like Google Docs inside an S3 bucket

• ronilan 9y ago
  For anyone interested, and for the record, this is my 2016 summer of code project. Experimental obviously. There is some additional info in the about page: http://public.docs.xstatic.site/about.html http://public.docs.xstatic.site/about.html And in this doc: http://docs.xstatic.site/markdown_db86ac26-f232-4400-a544-d59e9dc06b0d.html http://docs.xstatic.site/markdown_db86ac26-f232-4400-a544-d5...

    so how does it deal with eventually consistency. updating a document in S3 is bad idea... that said the tech is interesting.

      Google cloud storage has strong consistency. And it had an s3 like API. [1] https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/consistency https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/consistency [2] https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/interoperability https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/interoperability

        Bummer can't be accessed in mainland China.

      I just opened a document in two different browser windows. Started editing in one. Changes did not appear in the other. Pressed Ctrl+S in both windows, and it seems the last one wins. So basically the first one loses their work.

        That's concurrency, which isn't really surprising :) But probably when S3 is busy, you can edit, refresh and not see your changes.
