• Centralized vs. Decentralized: Why Modern Collaborative Tools choose CRDTs

  In the architecture of my Collaborative-Code-Editor, choosing CRDTs over OT gives me the advantage of not depending on a server for my data conflicts. Using Yjs as my CRDT library, not only fixes the problems OT arises but comes with additional features. A unique identifier keeps track of the characters' identity, and relative addressing that points to the character position in my code editor. The relative... - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• Quack: The DuckDB Client-Server Protocol

  Highly suggest you take a look here: https://github.com/yjs/yjs CRDT can absolutely do what you’re asking. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Show HN: Opensidian: Local-first notes in the browser with POSIX shell and sync

  ``` Those commands create and move real files that immediately appear in the editor's file tree. The best part is that all of this works in both browser and server-side contexts, since yjs (https://github.com/yjs/yjs) is isomorphic. Under the hood, metadata (name, parent, timestamps) lives in a versioned CRDT table. Document content lives in a separate Y.Doc per file, so the directory index syncs without pulling... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Local-First Software: Why the Future of Apps Doesn't Need the Cloud

  Libraries like Automerge and Yjs have gone from academic curiosities to production-ready tools. They handle edge cases that would have made local-first apps unreliable five years ago. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• Show HN: µJS, a 5KB alternative to Htmx and Turbo with zero dependencies

  I really like these sorts of frameworks from an architectural perspective, but what's the use-case? Maybe I'm too SPA-pilled, because to me all the fun of Web development is in providing really fluid, skeuomorphic experiences like those enabled by, eg pragmatic-drag-and-drop[0] or yjs[1]. I just struggle to envision what application benefits from the efficiency that this or htmx offer, but from neither the... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Syncthing File Sync for Self-Hosted Knowledge Systems

  Unlike cloud storage platforms, Syncthing uses a peer-to-peer model where each device holds its own copy of synced folders and exchanges changes directly with trusted peers. There is no central server that owns your data, no subscription account, and no vendor lock-in. The project is open-source and community-driven, with more details at syncthing.net. - Source: dev.to / 26 days ago

• The Quiet Renovation at Bitwarden

  Been using this setup for many years and never had any problem at all. I sync between desktop and mobile with Syncthing[0]. And also you can configure Syncthing to do file versioning, and it has many options (Trash Can, Simple, Staggered or External file versioning) so if some weird conflict happens you'll never lose data. But honestly, I have never had any issues, and I have been running this setup for many... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Show HN: Stop paying for Dropbox/Google Drive, use your own S3 bucket instead

  Https://syncthing.net/ <- like this :) Free, opensource, works on computers and phones, can in most cases puncture nat, supports local discovery (lan, multicast). No googles, no dropboxes, no clouds, no AI training, no "my kid likes the wrong video on youtube, now our whole family lost access to every google account we had, so we lost everything, including family photos", just sync! (not affiliated, just really... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Seafile vs Syncthing: Server vs Peer-to-Peer

  Syncthing is a decentralized, peer-to-peer file sync tool. Devices connect directly to each other — no central server. It does one thing: keep folders in sync across devices. It does this exceptionally well, with block-level delta sync and strong encryption. - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

• iCloud Photos Downloader

  This will let you download all of your photos that already exist on iCloud Photos. Going forward, you’d want to set up some other way to sync photos you take from your phone to your other devices. I can personally recommend Synology Photos for simplicity[1], or Immich[2] for an open-source (and in my opinion, slightly better) alternative you can run on any hardware, if you’d like to set up an always-on NAS. These... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
