• Local First, Forever

  I think an important requirement for making the "forever" aspect of local-first possible is to make the backend sync server available for local self-hosting. For example, we're building a local-first multiplayer "IDE for tasks and notes" [1] where simply syncing flat files won't work well for certain features we want to offer like real-time collaboration, permission controls and so on. In our case we'll simply... - Source: Hacker News / 9 days ago

• Trade-offs between Different CRDTs

  Nice outline of the various techniques. We've built something in-between the operation-based and delta-based approaches for our offline-first multiplayer "IDE for notes/tasks" [1]. In our case we have a central server which periodically creates snapshots. Although we don't do that right now, if needed, it could delete older operations from the log for space reasons. Except for the fact that replicas encrypt their... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• An Interactive Intro to CRDTs

  Right, there are quite some collaborative applications for which a hybrid approach is useful. We're building a collaborative editor (https://thymer.com) for example, where the underlying data structure is also a tree (as the text documents also support outliner-like features, so a flat list of characters/lines isn't enough). To avoid tree conflicts, insert and move operations look more like OT than CRDT however,... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
