Flat Habits VS Thymer

- https://xenodium.com/an-ios-journaling-app-powered-by-org-plain-text - Lately, I'm having a go at building a privacy-focused plain-text-based iOS journaling app. I starte building it for someone important in my life but now using it myself. - https://flathabits.com - After reading Atomic Habits, I wanted a habit tracker but most had more friction than I wanted, required accounts, had distractions, lock-in etc.... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

After reading "Atomic Habits", I tried a bunch of iOS habit trackers and none of them worked for me. They often wanted me to log in, had a social component, a game, analytics, or some form of lock-in. In the end, I built my own without any of this: https://flathabits.com. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

We're working on an app [1] which needs to deal with this, but in general it also makes git less suitable for things like outliners or other collaborative text editors where people can work on lists, tables, and so on (structured data basically).

Nice outline of the various techniques. We've built something in-between the operation-based and delta-based approaches for our offline-first multiplayer "IDE for notes/tasks" [1]. In our case we have a central server which periodically creates snapshots. Although we don't do that right now, if needed, it could delete older operations from the log for space reasons. Except for the fact that replicas encrypt their... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

Right, there are quite some collaborative applications for which a hybrid approach is useful. We're building a collaborative editor (https://thymer.com) for example, where the underlying data structure is also a tree (as the text documents also support outliner-like features, so a flat list of characters/lines isn't enough). To avoid tree conflicts, insert and move operations look more like OT than CRDT however,... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

We’re building an "IDE for notes/tasks" [1], so as an editor of sorts, UI snappiness matters a lot for us too. The approach we’re taking is to basically split up the app in two parts (we refer to these parts as "frontend" and "backend", but they are both on the client). The frontend does all the rendering for the editor, which we want to stay within the frame budget. That's why we offload all data synchronization... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
