If you need multiple writers and can handle eventual correctness, you should really be using cr-sqlite[1]. It'll allow you to have any number of workers/clients that can write locally within the same process (so no network overhea

I took a a couple classes in college that were taught in NetLogo. While it isn't the most practical language (except for visual simulations), I think it's incredibly valuable to learn to think in terms of isolated agents. It bring

This is an awesome resource! Glad Triplit made the list of hosted services (we're also open-source) One common misconception with local-first, is that it's essentially local-only. But I believe the best experience is where the ser

That's pretty insane that TikTok will also do fulfillment! That has to be a major differentiating feature from all of the other social media companies right? I would be very surprised if Meta or Google did anything close to that when i

The idea of representing a view over a stream with a type of circuit diagram is really neat and seems like the big unlock here. Makes me wonder if you could create a toy implementation in a reactive stream library like RxJS but one that is

Any comparisons to Automerge or Y.js/Yrs regarding performance or features?

Refreshing to see how much care is being taking to mantain compatibility with the greater JS ecosystem. No easy task when there's a dozen runtimes these days (Node, Deno, Bun, Hermes, etc). Kinda surprising that fetchJSON (or some equi

Kind of funny timing because I've noticed my messages in Slack have been quite a bit more delayed than usual for the last few months, especially when moving between devices. Maybe they need more "channel servers"

Cool, I'll check out your repos. Supabase also has Postgres CRDT ( https://github.com/supabase/pg_crdt ). But, in general, I think searching in and across documents and database storage is going to a thorny problem

I'm happy to see even further performance improvements towards rich-text CRDTs but at this point, I think the barrier to adoption isn't speed or compactness but instead integration with existing backends and databases. I have a hu

It bundles an entire JS engine with it. I think JSC in Bun's case. V8 for Deno and Node.

Very cool for projects like Hasura and Supabase which rely on middleman http servers (like PostgREST). But also great for building tools like database inspectors / SQL managers right in the browser!

This is pretty much what Flutter is. Except Flutter has system-specific UI's created by Google so each app can have that native look depending on where it's running.

Can't wait for this. Pipes are awesome in Elixir and bringing them to JS/TS will be great. To me this is both concise and readable: const weather = `https://api.weather.gov/gridpoints/TOP/31,80/

I wonder how long before Apple blocks this. They seem to be pretty hostile to these types of apps and even limited Expo's ability to load projects on iOS if you weren't the direct developer[1]. Curious if Retool got explicit permi

Elixir is having a big push into machine learning (checkout Nx and Axon) and generally is also great for doing data streaming processing so you could imagine tools cropping up that might have it's primary interface be a CLI... this wou

We had this exact thing happen to us. I think the most offensive part is that Twilio still makes money as their customers get scammed so are financially incentivized to keep letting it happen. And on top of that they disrespect their custom

I'm curious how this relates to Skia (the library that handles cross-platform rendering for Chrome and Flutter). Seems like this could be an alternative backend but also could serve as faster replacement?

Last Writer Wins is not the most compelling use case for CRDT because if those fruits were denormalized into Postgres rows, you'd already have the behavior described. A more interesting example, might be if both users were inserting a

We basically have that as well! We use CRDTs on the client to allow for optimistic updates and fast replication of events directly to other clients but we also do exactly what you describe on the server so that a user loading the data for t

We use logical timestamps instead of datetime. So each "event" has three properties that allow us to resolve to a sensible order across clients: session (integer), device_id (uuid), order (integer). The `session` number is set by

There's actually an approach that sits in between this and formal CRDTs. I had the same insight that having a total ordered log of changes solves a lot of the issues with concurrent updates. We solved this by creating one sequence CRDT

The downside to this future is that it, being the shift from applications to services, means instead of your data living on your computer it is instead fragmented across a bunch of other random places. While most consumers don't really
