I was also spammed (twice) by voice.ai. You mention GDPR, which also "applies" to me, though I wonder if what they're doing is actually illegal. I mean, after all, I'm putting my email on GitHub precisely to give people

How do you sync the data out of Garmin? Something like https://github.com/matin/garth , or syncing directly from the watch?

Thanks for the detailed answer! I think I do want to solve conflicts. My use case is for a personal database, which simplifies things a bit: sync is between devices of a single person, so it's unlikely for concurrent offline changes

Hey German. Congrats on shipping the project! Reading the "Why another CRDT / OT library?" I like that you seem to have taken a "Pareto approach": going for a simpler solution, even if not theoretically perfect. In

I see MCP as fundamentally limited: even if we had an LLM that knew how to use it perfectly, at the end of the day MCP workflows are integrations between many different APIs that were not designed to be composed and to work together. What i

That's why I emphasized _routing in a single page application_. If one needs SEO, a client-rendered single page application is the wrong choice, regardless of the router. > One big thing: what if you want to support SSR, which I thi

Yeah, implementing it with data flowing one-way only from the URL to the state is cleaner. Conceptually, however, I prefer to think of my state being at the center of things. I mean, that's where I define (via types) what the state is.

I've done something similar in a React project I'm working on to avoid dealing with the insanity that is react-router. Call me naïve, but routing in a single page application is just not that hard of a problem. At the core it&#x

Nice experiment! I'm using a similar approach in an app I'm building. Seeing how well it works, I now really believe that in the coming years we'll see a lot of "just-in-time generation" for software. If you haven&

I have a similar use case in the app I'm working on. Initially I went with JSONata, which worked, but resulted in queries that indeed felt more like incantations and were difficult even for me to understand (let alone my users). I then

People use AI to write blogs, passing them off as human-written. AI companies use humans to write blogs, passing them off as AI-written. :)

Author here. Curious to hear if anyone's experience also matches mine, or if instead you find the trade-off to be worth it most of the times. :)

Yeah, the first time it happened (about 15 years ago) I thought "that's it, I'm dead". Heart things are unnerving indeed! Best of luck with your AFib!

Fortunately I don't think it's WPW in my case. Or at least, my cardiologist never mentioned it, so I assume it's some other condition that has similar symptoms.

Hurray for this approach! I want most software that works with my personal data to work like that. And I'm actually working on a hobby project to make it possible: a local database + platform to run "local" apps on it. I have
