Is it me or is the Google News algorithm now dominated by press releases from the US government?

It's 2011, and this iconic image is an inspiring way to start every work day.

Wishing the TinyBase community a happy festive season, wherever you are in the world! We finished the year with some gifts in the form of a bunch of cool v7.x releases. Go check them out, and stay tuned for an exciting 2026 roadmap. Thank you everyone!

What's the point of having BPM and key in Spotify playlists if you can't sort?

Made a tune! Still got a lot to learn about production & mastering though... soundcloud.com/jamesgpearce...

December is shipping month at TinyBase Towers!

Unable to attend this week's awesome-looking @syncconf.bsky.social, I've decided instead to offer a tribute in the only form I know how: a new open source project. 👐 I believe sync is a fundamental part of modern app development. Hopefully I can help make it easier. Please follow along!

Why do I have to opt-OUT of things like Tailwind (for example) when using AI coding tools? Surely it should default to use more low-level and efficient primitives than abstractions that were often only designed for human DX.

There's a lot more to a local-first app than just a sync engine. For example, as I experimented building more complex apps, I soon realized I also needed to manage background tasks more intelligently: `setTimeout` and yolo just isn't good enough! So now we have TinyTick 🤣

So many new followers. Happy new year everyone and make sure to check out @tinybase.bsky.social too! 🙏

This podcast was released 5 months ago, but I just listened. Wow, so many insights and inspirations! TinyBase - The reactive data store for local-first apps by James Pearce @jamespearce.bsky.social

Oh man I hope so!

🎨 OKLCH Cheatsheet The highest C (chroma) values for a given L (lightness %) that let you display any H (hue) on a P3 display without fallback: L=20% C=0.04 L=30% C=0.06 L=40% C=0.09 L=50% C=0.11 L=60% C=0.13 L=70% C=0.15 L=80% C=0.1 L=90% C=0.05 (Thanks @evilmartians.com! 🚀)

Certainly more excited about this launch than the fact that Bluesky doesn't render the animated GIF that goes with it! 😢

📑 New 'Architectural Options' guide. We had feedback that it's hard to understand all the different ways that TinyBase can be used! So... our new guide runs through many of the ways you can persist & synchronize data - both natively and with other platforms. Link below! 👇

I think it's going to be a fun local-first week.

I'd love to be at the Monday morning standup when this web team reviews their weekend traffic.

Alright, I think we need a JavaScript library starter pack. Please help by nominating other accounts to add! 🙏 go.bsky.app/B3kfK2C

That feeling when the app data syncs faster than the CSS loads. TinyBase v5.4 is going to be fun!

Awesome to see all the local-first fans on here already. Like for a follow if I haven’t found you yet!

📍TinyBase is built for a local-first world. In this blog post from the seafaring father of TinyBase, James Pearce, you will learn how to use TinyBase in your Expo app to build local-first apps and enable data synchronization with other devices and users. 🔗 expo.dev/blog/how-to-...
