Looks great, and I was also happy to see that it has offline capabilities and will sync once you have a signal. There needs to be more apps built using this mod

Looks great, and I was also happy to see that it has offline capabilities and will sync once you have a signal. There needs to be more apps built using this model.
- realusername 10mo agoI've done a similar app and this was basically the reason why I'm discontinuing the app. You didn't have a polished offline-first sync solution back in the days and my homemade sync code is a spaghetti soup.
- Priotecs 10mo agoThanks! I strongly agree. A local-first, offline-capable model turned out to be one of the best long-term decisions. It makes the app faster, more reliable, and usable in situations where connectivity is poor or nonexistent. Sync then becomes an enhancement, not a dependency. It also changes how you design software: you optimize for resilience and data ownership instead of assuming a server is always there. I’m convinced more apps would benefit from this approach, especially for tools people rely on daily.
- sgt 10mo agoAnd people think you need to go to the jungle of Honduras to lose connectivity. It can happen literally anywhere, in a parking garage, next to trees in a park, in the desert. Intermittent in a shopping mall, the list goes on. Also, I like apps being resilient.
