been testing out Zero for a while and once you try it there's no going back. it solves roughly ~all of the major pain points sync engines had in the past, while feeling fun and productive to use. my optimism is renewed that building web UIs can — and will — keep getting better. massive congrats to the team, this is incredibly hard and important work that will benefit us all.

The most annoying problem for Zero's launch was what bug tracker to use. GitHub is way too slow, and Linear doesn't have public bugs or permissions – both required for OSS projects. This was driving me nuts, until I realized the only possible solution… ⏩ (link in reply)

Beyond excited to share that Matt Wonlaw (aka @tantaman) has joined @rocicorp as our seventh partner. Matt is well-known in the local-first community for his work on vlcn.io and related projects, and I'm delighted he has chosen to join forces with us. We've all been working together now for several months, and I cannot wait to share the results. Let's just say that they will be _materializing_ very soon.

In 2007 I joined a team at Google with the crazy idea to put a database in the browser. That database: SQLite. The Gears project was killed, as was the next attempt to put SQLite in the browser, and the two after that. Nearly two decades later, the dream is finally materializing. We’re on the cusp of a revolution in web app development. Local-first products like @replicache and @hello_reflect will dramatically change the way we build the web, massively improving both its ux and dx. Listen to the entire tale of how we finally got local-storage in browsers in this interview with @schickling. Thank you Johannes for the invite, this was super fun!

Episode #2 is out. @aboodman shares his local-first journey starting with Google Gears in 2008 (bringing SQLite to the browser the first time) until today with devtool products such as @replicache and @hello_reflect. localfirst.fm/2

This integration was really fun to work on. Yjs and the ecosystem of tools built on top of it are really neat technology. Was amazing how smoothly this integrated with Reflect.
Aaron Boodman@aboodman

One last thing from @hello_reflect before we close up shop for the year – Today, we're releasing first-class support for multiplayer text editing in Reflect, via the popular Yjs library! Get started in minutes at hello.reflect.net/how/text.

Last month we launched @hello_reflect and explained how our game-inspired sync is more flexible than CRDTs. Not only that, Reflect is fun and easy to use too! See for yourself – here's a step-by-step, detailed walkthrough of your first Reflect app: youtu.be/VjxIi-Kfd7A

We've added a new partner to @rocicorp! I've known Darick Tong for about fifteen years – he was one of the principal engineers behind the Gmail backend, and widely respected at Google. More importantly he's the person behind the 💩 emoji. fastcompany.com/3037803/the-or…

If you're considering building a multiplayer product in the next 3-5 months, please reach out. Our goal is to reduce the cost of this type of multiplayer ux to near zero. reflect.net

@thenetmonkey @SkyHu Thank you Billy for all your help keeping macaw-swift and rweb running. You and Sky were quiet heroes with your years of maintenance on macaw-swift. It was always a pleasure working with you. So sad your run had to end like this.

@SkyHu We were really in the trenches together keeping macaw-swift running for all those years. You were a great partner and an excellent engineer. It was really something watching you folks build up a web community from like 7 people at one point. Watching you shut MS down was so good

That’s it for me. 8.5 years as an SRE at Twitter and I’ve just been fired. I’m grateful to all my colleagues for getting to learn from and grow with you all. I’m proud of the thing we built. I’m sad to see what’s happened to it. Looking forward to taking a break 🫡💙

@DrJorts In the end I found that healthcare.gov is the best resource. At least in AZ private brokers didn't really have any options healthcare.gov didn't have available to review and select online.

@DrJorts I made this mistake at one point as well. They will give up after about a month.

I did a podcast about @replicache. This was a lot of fun because @deleteman123 is a very good interviewer and asked interesting questions. Come for the JavaScript, stay for the deep thoughts on life 😂.
