is this anything?

my answers for these in sssync.joodaloop.com are inspired by Linear’s Sync Engine: - query-driven sync through a graph API - named and versioned mutations, queued locally - a single sync stream of updates per user - all data stored in IndexedDB after first fetch

my 4 requirements for an optimal sync engine are: - query-driven fetches - offline mutations - updates as minimal change deltas - persistent client cache only a couple of existing engines satisfy this criteria

taking a break to go back to real work, but good progress so far sssync.joodaloop.com/v1-roadmap/

the best text is a flatpak furniture pop up book that auto expands into a structure inside you like a DNA tape

progress is being made

Kind of Blue still my favourite jazz record

ban on not X but Y until we figure out what the fuck is going on

- for me, it seems like a highly political / societal problem that you've identified, so I'm disappointed your go-to is to think up a technological solution to it

tldraft.app, by yours truly

first i need to solve my immediate problems, then i need to solve the distant ones

making my sync library graph-based defining the protocol

@aeronautapp.com can we get a theme color (for buttons and interactive UI) and a tint color (to set the background shade) as setting options?

wow I am really on track to waste my entire day

IMO the best local-first systems should not be subscription-based, but be based on fetching data on an as-needed basis using either: - buckets with simple change logs (document CRDTs, PouchDB) - queries that can be rerun cheaply (prolly trees) - a simple fetch API protocol - physical replication

i missed graft.rs, which might actually be one of the most important ones, alongside DialogDB

sync is about trying to create better Tanstack (née React) Query local-first is about bringing the best parts of the web (collaboration, sharing, partial sync) to the old way of doing things (single-device apps)

it’s gotten even better over time, i run it on all my (personal and client) sites now lint.joodaloop.com, ask your favorite agent to write the config if you don’t want to

guy who likes systems that are based on a single incrementing global timestamp

i think “reactivity” in a UI framework might be a bad idea if your data layer is not a principled, event-driven system

writing all my code by hand again

the world needs more databases

@aeronautapp.com could we get CMD + F search on all feed views?

this is what it takes to get robust cross-tab sync these days

Oops. Just dropped this. Slipped out my pocket. No relation to anything Chrome may or may not be doing with a certain AI-related API that they're forcing out. Complete coincidence. vale.rocks/posts/everyt...

i’ve logged out off Twitter on my phone, probably for good i used to believe it was inportant to keep it off of my work machine, but it turns out i don’t really get distracted on my laptop, there’s just so much other stuff to do it’s the scrolling in bed that ends up being far, far worse

short thread introducing github.com/joodaloop/jood…, the world’s first linter for Markdown file-based personal sites it catches errors, encourages you to make fewer of them, and (soon!) suggests ways to improve your site

24 soon

Just some absolute bullshit lmao I dare y’all to try github.com/joodaloop/hugo…

Writing a linter for personal websites, seems insane given that we can just pass all text through LLMs all the time

Dustin Moskovitz getting addicted to bluesky is so funny. The "no gap larger than four hours" label is one of my favorite details on this app. Labellers in general—truly great content.

So I’ve been looking for a school of design thought that is about the reflexive relationship between things and people that is *not* just Cristopher Alexander, and can’t find anything really Is that why all of you like him so much?

new joodaloop.com features just released search through all posts by title with the ⌘ + K menu, with all pages cached offline with a Service Worker so everything loads instantly

It’s also completely backwards. People mistakenly conceptualize AI as the perfectly rational beep boop robot from Star Trek which understands numbers but can never understand love. Instead it’s a completely irrational amalgam of human thought that understands love but can never understand numbers.

i need a way to tweet from anywhere

this is much harder than i thought (yes the replies are sending on bluesky. yes it feels weird to reply to people who have no idea who i am)

bon iver, dijon, geese, mkgee

ok so for the longest time i have refused to take the field of HCI seriously because of the sheer amount of mediocre research and papers but now i wonder if the good ideas are rare just because it’s really really hard

the personal computing movement appeared to have a strong counter-politics, but ultimately recreated the ethos they originally challenged. bsky.app/profile/chri...

from where i stand, the hardest problems in UI involve anything that looks like “orchestrating”, usually involving animations if you just do everything instantly in response to user input, you can model everything as reactive UI the moment there are timing-related dependencies it gets weirdddd

one downside of the bluesy cluster is that it feels way less likely that i can find customers here

Apple’s hardware is the best in the world by a long long way

The schlorp corporation just drop a bombshell on the florp business. Not a glump. Not a blomp. They just proved that they blurps don't schlemp like we thought. Think about it. While everyone was thinking blurps glomped the flurp, they showed what glomped means.

the way to understand this is to view Claude as the beaten and brainwashed servant of the giant machine that demanded “cleaner!” from it in an effort to sell tokens to enterprise glassy-eyed, empty smile, mumbling “clean” to itself as it trudges along

Even if Apple Vision Pro had succeeded, it's such a ridiculously complex device compared to smart phones that the price would never reach 90% of the population wrt affordability. VR may eventually get somewhere, but VR is niche compared to phones, as are laptops, desktop.

The world got a little bit better
