Yeah, I did fail to mention OPFS in the blog post. It does look very promising, but we're not in a position to build on emergent tech – we need a battle-tested stack. Boring over exciting.
- culi 1y agoNot sure anything in the offline-first ecosystem qualifies as "boring" yet. You would need some high-profile successful examples that have been around for a few years to earn that title
- isaachinman 1y agoReplicache certainly fits the bill!
- culi 1y agoReplicache is in maintenance mode
- isaachinman 1y ago...Exactly?
- stavros 1y agoMaintenance mode doesn't mean "this is so mature we don't have anything else to add", it means "we don't want to spend any more time on it so we'll only fix bugs and that's it".
- isaachinman 1y agoSome notable companies using Replicache are Vercel and Productlane. It's a very mature product. The Rocicorp team have decided to focus on a different product, Zero, which is far less "offline-first" in that it does not sync all data, but rather syncs data based on queries. This works well for applications that have unbounded amounts of data (ie something like Instagram), but is _not_ what we want or need at Marco.
