The real judge will be survivorship bias and as a betting man, I might think product owners are the ones with the entrepreneurial spirit to make it to the other side.

Love your perspective. It reminds me of this argument I’m working on about Turing machine qualia. Maybe my argument is just Searle in disguise? https://x.com/jchris/status/1815379571736551923?s=46&t=8A60w...

This has always felt to me like evidence of a sort of computationalism. I am not a computationalist, but the thought is the "universal CPU" needs cycles for each particle. Mass is what takes time to process, so the voids experienc

I came here to say the same thing. When you’re selling cloud services, the hardest thing to do is segment your customers by willingness to pay. Cross AZ traffic is exactly the sort of thing companies with budgets need, that small projects d

I had the pleasure of reading Montaigne before blogs were invented. When I started reading blogs, the format reminded me of his essays.

I’m impressed by how easy it was, for someone new to all parts of the stack. I agree MCP isn’t a big change, but that is a good thing. It’s more about making the implicit interface into something portable and reusable. Most posix commands a

This is just the first step in a bunch of cool stuff you can do. Now that the data is in a syncing database you can have models across multiple vendors and backends all working with the data locally while collaborating on changes. This mean

Thanks y'all -- feedback taken. If I were saying it again I'd say something like: Merkle proofs are rad b/c they build causal consistency into the protocol. But there are lots of ways to find agreement about the latest operat

In founder mode, I pretty much only think about these data structures. So I am (admittedly) not that sensitive to how it comes across. Spam would be raising the topic on unrelated posts. This is a context where I can find people who get it.

I figured the responses would be more interesting. Questions about CRDT guarantees etc. Perhaps worth seeding the convo with a remark about finality.

We launched Fireproof earlier this month on HN. It’s a tamperproof Merkle CRDT in TypeScript, with an object storage backend for portability. See our Show HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42184362 We’ve seen interes

Thank you! I'm excited to see more and more people try it out as it gets more stable and easy to use.

Thanks, and thanks for the encouragement to fully document the gateway interface. We have been flux-ing it lately but as soon as it settles down we’ll do that. The vision is many small ledgers, so the full replication per ledger makes sense

We focus on provable data integrity and being easy enough that new devs can find success without learning much stack. Many alternatives start with a backend integration mindset, I started from the React hooks and worked towards the storage

I answered 1-5 in my other reply, hit save and so here's more: 6. There is a limit parameter on the query API, and the underlying data structures utilize async iterator patterns so we have a go-forward path to a streaming (data /

These are awesome questions, I'll try to fold the answers into the docs also. 1. The embedded database subscribes to the remote sync endpoint when it is connected. This subscription might be polling, websocket, or anything else. The lo

The default gateway style doesn’t have to parse the encrypted files so the endpoint could be anything like an S3 bucket and anything like a register to redirect to the most recent file. Someone has a similar question in our discord, where I

We are working on transparent replication to Postgres JSON which will make it a lot easier to adopt.

There are maybe too many backend implementions: https://github.com/fireproof-storage/connect/tree/main/src And writing a custom one is super-easy (docs coming soon, for now here is the interface): https

Thanks for the feedback. That is a bridge we are crossing now. We started with open source backends for maximum coverage, and are standing up Fireproof Cloud now as the easy default. If you click "inspect data" in the demo CodePen
