Published a new log on building Linkora's "web-capture" feature handling Rust, JNI, file descriptors, and coroutine cancellations:

I've published a new write-up on how @LinkoraApp handles OTA localization without pulling in third-party SDKs.

Linkora now supports saving webpages as standalone HTML files locally; all processing happens on-device.

i've forked monolith to support _cancellation_. native interop is fun.

handling JNI exceptions isn't fun, ended up using SAM conversions for callbacks instead of dealing with JNI

@code_bytein v7 is ofc much better if exposing primary key isn't sensitive, even then i guess a secondary v4 that gets exposed to clients should do it with a separate index for lookups or maybe some sort of cache, which "defeats" the purpose of v7.

@LinkoraApp @LimaeApp I could package the entire object as a collection instead and get rid of every specific operation, which would make the codebase much easier to maintain, but it might increase bandwidth usage. So, that's that. 9/9

[Saketh @sakethpathike]

Rewriting syncing mechanics in @LinkoraApp. Been experimenting around CRDTs and they shine when dealing with collections of items that need to be merged. Martin Kleppmann has great explanations on this (which I'll use for @LimaeApp in future). 1/9

[Saketh @sakethpathike]

@LinkoraApp @LimaeApp I might still need specific operations like edit title, note, or parent rather than naturally merging two edits the CRDT way. Especially if the update is happening post operation. 8/9

stack overflow's new design (beta) ain't it

comments got that thread style instead of plain list and they're removing certain "review queues"

[Saketh @sakethpathike]

Android Studio's profiler is goood, wish it had an inbuilt thing to trim out a specific time frame's info.

Release: https://t.co/urCNCKYdR4 (4/4)

[Saketh @sakethpathike]

v0.16.0 of @LinkoraApp makes imports/exports a lot more efficient. Both now run in O(n) instead of O(n^2).

JSON imports: 56.1% less heap memory, 17% better CPU efficiency. HTML imports: 58.7% less heap memory, that's ~225MB less. (1/4)

[Saketh @sakethpathike]

Pagination is now cursor-based instead of offset-based. Sliding window is still there (was before too), using Kotlin Flows to keep only viewport items in read connections. (3/4)

hot reload adds some cool effects
