venice ai: 3M users, $65M raised at a $1B valuation, privacy-focused. Chat history is stored on the device in RxDB, and they stream LLM tokens straight into the database. How they built it: https://t.co/IZ4WLNJPLr

Nostr fixes identity, not storage. So RxDB 17.6.0 uses Nostr relays only to let peers find each other, and the data goes device to device over WebRTC. A p2p app with no server of your own: https://t.co/GlFMgn5KUa

Last week I disabled GitHub Issues on most Laravel open-source packages.

If you hit a bug, describe it to a coding agent and open a PR. Even if the code isn't great, that's fine - code can be iterated on. The PR still documents the problem, and a proper fix can follow.

I suspect this will soon be how most open-source libraries operate.

Dark mode was a mistake. It does not save your battery, 87% of the web ignores it, and light text in a dark room measured as the worst case in a 2017 reading study. Just adjust your screen brightness: https://t.co/rn458Gv5P4

In 2016 I bet that all UI apps will be built in JavaScript and built RxDB for that world. My next bet: people will run AI local-first. Model capability density doubles every 3.5 months, so 'good enough on your phone' has a date. My dates: https://t.co/FtLGQUOk1d

@jakeymoreland Not on SQLite but directly with the expo-filesystem storage we have about 0.2ms per single write doc. Source: https://t.co/7cHSpoeoPk

REST APIs grow with every feature you ship. Sync endpoints do not grow at all. 3 endpoints per entity: pull, push, change stream. Every new feature becomes a database query on the client. I wrote up why: https://t.co/sph9DtlnGI

WebMCP is underrated. Google and Microsoft are building a browser API where your website registers JavaScript functions as tools for AI agents, no scraping, no separate API: https://t.co/HBdZXgXxAi

SEO is dying. RxDB ranks the same on Google as before, some keywords better than ever, but clicks fall month after month. The searchers moved to AI. I wrote up what I am changing because of it: https://t.co/TBsic9XAgo

Your app breaks the moment the wifi drops. An elevator, a train, a parking garage. Users will not ask for offline support, they will just leave. I wrote up how to build apps that keep working without a connection:

MongoDB shut down Atlas Device Sync 10 months ago. Realm still gets 221k npm downloads per month. I wrote up the three realistic migration paths for stranded teams: https://t.co/AHMYUTEIct

The lead of the Solid project built a replication plugin for RxDB. Your app's database can now sync into a data pod that the user owns. I wrote up why Solid pods plus local-first are the future: https://t.co/4NfIca2dx7

Local-first Sync Engine

Edge 10/10 · Local-first Sync emits a JSON last-write-wins patch over all known localStorage notes, mesh tx ledger, recipients, health inventory, weather, cache. Import sets-merge on arrays by id/hash, LWW for the rest. Automerge / RxDB hook standing by.

Just published expo-opfs. If you're building an @expo app and want to use a web library that needs the Origin Private File System (OPFS), this polyfill based on expo-filesystem makes it work out of the box.
