I’m biased as one of the authors of Y-Sweet, but I think Jake’s choice of Yjs + Y-Sweet is as good as any to start with. We’ve worked a lot at making the localhost environment easy to get started with, and Yjs is the de facto CRDT with the

(One of the authors of Y-Sweet) You’re right, that is one of the advantages of CRDTs, but it turns out to be hard to realize on the web — aside from RTC (which has its own dragons), you still need a server in the mix. The other thing an aut

YC doesn’t benefit from founders who are just looking to pad their resume because they don’t follow through to a liquidity event for YC.

IMHO this post misses the fact that YC becoming a prestige institution is itself a sort of failure mode. You don't want to attract founders who figure YC is a low-risk alternative to grad school that will look good on their resume. It&

As someone who walks a lot in NYC and frequently sees ambulances/fire trucks caught in traffic, I’m not sure what the mystery is here. This is just what happens when you fill the streets to capacity, normalize double-parking, and then

I was also surprised Google didn’t really mention the Cloud Domains path. I did it, but there are some caveats. It doesn’t support all domains that Google Domains did (e.g. “premium” domains on new tlds), and Squarespace does still end up b

From the open source project[1], it seems like the core of this is a stateful HTTP proxy that syncs cookies and localStorage with the client. I guess that’s enough to make most things work? I do wonder how they are getting around JavaScript

One advantage of this approach is that if you're already using S3 (as in the SlateDB case mentioned in the article), it's essentially “free”. And it means that a package like SlateDB just needs to be pointed at an S3 bucket, inste
