While this is awesome, I think declaring the "death of client-server" is kind of naive. For anything that handles sensitive information (e.g. the auth() service here), it'd be mayhem to have all clients also be servers.
- dshankar 14y agoOur interpretation is that the concept of a client and a server is no longer relevant. Clients are just machines that are over the network that you don't trust. An iPhone is more powerful than servers from 10 years ago. It's a (bad) brief explanation but do you see my point? Perhaps the only relevant concept now is publishers and subscribers rather than clients and servers?

- rgarcia 14y agoYeah, that makes sense, and I agree. You make a finer point than the third bullet point in the post :) Btw, love Bridge--using it to do some slick "client-side" form validation across browser and iOS clients. Keep up the good work!
