@erebion I think the cardinal sin of a lot of these projects is append only operation logs that demand sequential processing for the system to work. It's a beautiful design for database replicas but awful for clients which have a lot of downtime and need catching up periodically.
@baibold Oh wow this is so good, thank you for the link!
Pretty sure it was how I found "stuffonmycat.com" and articles about populating cell matrices with animal cells with the goal of making replacement organs.
@caten Brutal 💀 Not unexpected sadly.
@Aaron_Davis I don't think it's been a thing for over a decade now. :P
@suricrasia i could imagine a 2 hour videoessay on the topic
@erebion Yeah I feel a bit sad that the core of it requires processing so much data on the client side to function. I kinda wish the client-server API was more focused on sparse loading to enable thinner clients.
@suricrasia ty for making this! It is a very good set of feelings for my brain stem.
@taq Nope! Entirely hand written :P
I used it a bit to remember the syntax for camera capture for some of the example apps though.
@taq Yeah I'm trying to see the smallest possible option to work accross devices while being able to generate usable code snippets.
Mozilla #pocket shutting down is exactly why we should be building on top of #p2p data trasfer foundations. Depending on cloud services means it's just a matter of *when* the service will shut down or make your usual flows inaccessible.
The thing is, with tools like #agregore it's way easier to make and distribute small apps that are local to your or your friend's devices.
So pocket is shutting down. It's fatiguing to have your digital life depend on so many externalities that you don't control.
If I have food in my fridge, I can eat. If I have clothes in my closet I can get dressed and go outside. It won't all disappear at a moment's notice because some decision was made somewhere.
In the digital world, permanence is a mirage. You can't really depend on anything being there, unless you control it all from the hardware to the software.

XR shell (xrsh) now supports saving & restoring VM-snapshots.
Afaik the first (famous last words) in-WebXR linux distro which can persist state over https://remotestorage.io
Occult Enby that's making local-first software with peer to peer protocols, mesh networks, and the web.
Exploring what a local-first cyberspace might look like in my spare time.
