Is there any technical document describing how it works ? For example, order-preserving indices (for range queries) are often an issue in end-to-end databases ; did your design allow to you to provide them, or did you just consider solving this problem out-of-scope ?
- tasn 6y agoThere are docs here: https://docs.etebase.com/ https://docs.etebase.com/ Though they mostly focus on how to use rather than how it works (though we are making progress on that section). As for your specific question: we currently don't solve that, but we plan on doing it in the near future. Our approach will be to maintain a client-side index that will be synced across devices. Etebase already utilities to maintain consistency, so this can be done safely. This question, and ones like it, are exactly why we created Etebase. Building encrypted applications is fundamentally different and comes with a lot of challenges. We plan on continue building all of the tools needed to develop using this different paradigm.
