Martin Kleppmann in one of his recent talks about the future of local-first, mentions the need for a generic sync service for the 'local-first end-game' [0] as he calls it. Standardization is needed. Right now everyone and their mother is doing sync differently and building production platforms around their own protocols and mechanisms.

- tmpfs 2y agoThe problem is that the requirements can be vastly different. A collaborative editor is very different to say syncing encrypted blobs. Perhaps there is a one size fits all but I doubt it. I've been working on sync for the latter use case for a while and CRDTs would definitely be overkill.
