I'm excited about this work. Traditionally it's been hard to bridge local files and cloud documents, meaning that cloud data tends to stay siloed in specific editing UIs. This seems like the right first step towards letting tradit

Yeah, Svelte or Solid is probably a more natural fit than React. But at the end of the essay we propose a weirder alternative, which is to implement the UI templating itself as just part of a DB query.

Yeah, MobX is a great tool for fine-grained reactivity + managing state outside UI tree. I haven't seen anyone try relational querying in MobX, would be curious if that's a thing.

Eventually we plan to integrate this algorithm into the Text type of Automerge [1], which is a more production-ready CRDT. [1]: https://github.com/automerge/automerge

(Author here) Yjs is an impressive project and probably the most production-ready text CRDT library out there today. One of our goals was to write down a clear spec for how a rich text CRDT should behave separately from any particular algor

Post author here — just wanted to say I emphatically agree with this and have found your work on rr and Pernosco very inspiring! Anyone who hasn’t seen this work should check it out.

(author here) Yes, totally agree. I think this is one of the biggest barriers to adopting this kind of tool in production. One simple solution might be to only run the recording process on test data and never run in prod.

If you're looking for more concrete details on what it's actually like to make things at Dynamicland, I recommend this writeup by Omar Rizwan. (from 2018, so doesn't reflect recent progress, but it's still helpful for ge

Ohm’s key selling point for me is the visual editor environment, which shows how the parser is executing on various sample inputs as you modify the grammar. It makes writing parsers fun rather than tedious. One of the best applications of “

(post author here) While I agree that commercial incentives are critical to consider, two caveats I'd add: 1) I think the nature and depth of the incentives problem varies a lot by industry. Social media is a really complex case, for e

Thanks for the feedback everyone! Never realized it was causing problems. Will change or at least add an option.

(author here) sorry to hear that! Out of curiosity, what screen size are you reading on? Anyone else have similar problems? Sounds like I should add a button to disable the gradient.

Yes! I think Braid is a good effort in this area, will add to the prior art section.

1) I am a big fan of the general philosophy of Solid. But as others have mentioned, I've found it extremely difficult to understand specifics of the proposal or to see concrete progress, based on publicly available resources. The best

The website is built with Tailwind UI. Super easy to use their templates and just customize a little bit.

Something I find intriguing about Foam is that it's mainly a recommendation for how to stitch together existing tools into a nice integrated workflow, rather than a new piece of software built from scratch. I wrote a blog post about th

Yes, this is definitely a useful point of comparison! We hesitated to mention database migrations too much in the essay for the reason you mention: in some sense, the whole point of Cambria is that you never do a one-time "migration&qu

I really really want this stack to succeed -- I think it has so much potential. And I've been hoping that some of this confusion would get cleared up. Unfortunately, after reading this blog post I think I'm even more confused than

Pleasantly surprised to learn that most recipe sites include structured metadata. Makes sense given the combination of a relatively straightforward schema, and SEO incentive from Google.

I had the same thought -- it seems like many of these ideas overlap heavily with R1C1 mode, which is already how Excel internally manages formula copy-paste. Joel Spolsky explaining how it works: https://youtu.be/0nbkaYsR94c
