• You Might Not Need a CRDT: Document Sync in the Wild [video]

  When we built Kitemaker [0] we elected to not use CRDTs. We built our sync engine after reading the blog article Figma wrote about they didn't need CRDTs because they have the server arbitrating any conflicts. We ended up taking the same approach. It's worked out very well for us though in a tool like our "last one in wins" generally works fine and doesn't lead to a lot of surprises. For documents, we had to do... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• How to write great one-pagers, PRDs, Specs, and more

  There is no one-size-fits-all approach to writing descriptions, so you need to figure out what works best for you and your team. However, seeing real-world examples might inspire you to find new ways to write them. Here are some examples from descriptions we have written for Kitemaker. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Lessons learned from moving to Recoil.js

  At Kitemaker, we recently made the leap to Recoil.js for our React state management needs. Before using Recoil, Kitemaker used a simple state management solution built upon useReducer(). We built Kitemaker to be super fast, responding to every user interaction instantly. However, in organizations with lots of data, we sometimes had a difficult time achieving this due to unnecessary re-renders. Kitemaker has a sync... - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Realtime: Multiplayer Edition

  Definitely feel your pain. We did a full OT implementation for our startup [0] and it was a beast. We based it on Slate.js which has a nice concept of operations that maps nicely to OT, but it was still a lot of work to get it working well (and there are still rough edges we try to improve all of the time). We did base it on Postgres in the backend so really looking forward to what the Supabase team comes up with... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: How to get developers and UI designers to work well together

  4) Have a way to keep references to all the discussions in one place and visible to the entire team. [0] https://kitemaker.co/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: What are you using to manage in your team the projects/features?

  I'm going to shill for my current employer, you should checkout Kitemaker[0]. The unique shtick is that our 'issues' are large collaborative documents (we call them work items) and are meant to track deliverables rather than development tasks. The idea is that a work item is created as soon as someone has an idea and all the exploratory work happens in the work item. So it could start with someone writing down how... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Show HN: Thin Back end, a universal back end for making realtime React Apps

  Supabase recently announced something in the "realtime" space https://supabase.com/blog/2022/04/01/supabase-realtime-with-multiplayer-features Like to keep up-to-date on this stuff because we ended up building the realtime/multiplayer part of Kitemaker [0] from scratch on top of GraphQL so I'm always curious what's coming along to make things easier. 0: https://kitemaker.co. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Show HN: Build or don't build a software feature?

  This is cool! It's kind of similar to what the RICE/ICE frameworks are trying to help achieve [0]. We built some scoring of impact/effort into our tool Kitemaker [1] and allow teams to prioritize their work by these things. We ended up going with really simple scores like S/M/L since it's super hard to know the difference between a 6 and a 7 (and it probably doesn't really matter anyway). 0:... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• GitHub Projects – Customizable, flexible tool for planning and tracking work

  We looked at Linear and decided on Kitemaker[0] as their core thesis is enabling collaboration with eng and product (and other stakeholders). The team does daily deployments and like Linear they focus on speed and hotkeys. [0] https://kitemaker.co. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
