You’ve clearly never pissed off someone with more money and connections than you.

I've been using Prosemirror on LegendKeeper for 5 years now. It's a challenging library to use, but there's very little you can't do with it. Chasing down cross-platform bugs is a nasty business though.

Replica founder Eugenia Kuyda says that AI relationships will be a great stepping stone to real relationships. Feels similar to how dating companies will claim their goal is to get single people off of their apps and into a romance with ano

Yep, though coming from mobile development this was somewhat familiar. A lot of mobile apps are local-first, but I don't think it was called that back when I was doing mobile. Most mobile platforms expect this and provide tools to ease

I don't know how well the original y-websocket provider scales, as it holds ydocs in memory. I imagine lots of folks are using it just fine in production, though. I wrote a less-stateful version of y-websocket that uses the Yjs Differe

I built a custom solution based on y-websocket that handles multiplexing and syncing multitudes of Ydocs at once; a single YDoc is not really enough for complex apps. I run the server myself; originally on GKE because I was learning it for

Ooh hell yeah; excited to check this out.

I’ve built a successful business from a TTRPG campaign manager (LegendKeeper) using CRDTs, specifically the Yjs kind. It’s been great, and the UX of CRDT-powered stuff is excellent. Zero latency, eventually consistent; overall users love th

We use Tiptap/Prosemirror/Yjs at LegendKeeper. It’s a great setup, but TipTap is a very shallow abstraction over PM. (Not knocking it at all, it’s still a great library.) To anyone looking at Tiptap, just know you’ll need to learn

I use it to convert legacy JavaScript to Typescript quickly, and to write small, verifiable functions for domains I’m not quite familiar with. The other day I had it teach me some WebGL stuff. You always have to verify what it’s telling you

We use Customer.io! It's quite nice, but I wince every time the monthly bill comes in. It's about 50% of our total expenses, and we pay for more than a dozen other services. I wish it was priced on some combination of users + usag

I believe the sidecar is optional now, and I think even the one that exists comes in the form of their paid service called Prisma Proxy. It doesn’t seem necessary for most use cases.

I think these folks should spend more time chatting with loved ones and friends. We should balance the zoomed-out view with a zoomed-in one every now and then.

We use tldraw at LegendKeeper. Our users absolutely LOVE IT. Almost too much; our users are D&D players so they like to make giant family trees and faction relation diagrams. Tldraw handles it perfectly, though.

A classmate of mine went unconscious, fell forward, and smashed their head through a glass coffee table, so I wouldn’t say “no risk.” Yeah it’s “technically not the nitrous but gravity!!!”, but that would be pedantic.

While this comment is snarky and maybe off-topic, it reminds me of a fun story from my time in a Texas private school. In one class we were told that God made fossils and made them only look millions of years old in order to test our fait

I hope he’s maybe grown up since then. Not thrilled to have that attitude from someone working on general AI.

I respect the game a lot, but it was more impactful and novel in 2011. Its themes seem well-trodden in 2022. (If you like the "cubicle-based existential nightmare" genre, give Severance a watch; I really enjoyed it.)

These were fun times. The RO soundtrack was great too.

I get these, but for me it’s not real-time noise. It’s noises and voices I heard throughout the day. It feels like they’re being replayed from a tape recorder right as I fall asleep.

You made an account just to comment this? There are many niches where people have a need and will pay to have it solved.

It's like Google Maps + Wikipedia, but for fictional places.

Similar features! LK is a smattering of a bunch of libraries and original code. Prosemirror is foundational to the app, and we recently added tldraw for diagramming.

We had a user upload their med school diagrams as a map and use the pin tool as a study aid. I loved that!

Creator here! Thanks for the shoutout; I built LegendKeeper to help me with my D&D campaigns and found that having a tool to reason about world knowledge, geography, and relationships was helpful in other domains too, such as fiction wr

To start with the good, building features in your app becomes super easy because your network layer is completely agnostic. Rather than making API endpoints for every new feature, you're implementing everything in the language of share
