My use case is a no-SQL in device db to power graphQL. Will resort to SQLite if all else fails.

Demo and HN reaction make this promising congratulation on the launch. The only thing that will drag me any my years of OneNote notes is Grammarly integration and support for using with Remarkable. For the last five years I have been on the look out for free form writing tool that I can use with any E-Ink tablet writers. My pesky OneNote + surface sort of works but code highlighting and typo corrections always drive me nuts. I have tried notion, OneNote and recently a direct graph note taking competitor anytype.io to no avail.

Pretty much same here, and that's why I don't log on as my much anymore. Most of my active social network is primarily on Instagram. However there is an aspect of growing out of social networks, especially when you have kids.

The more surprising thing is that Facebook still has a lot of current information on me with out me ever logging on with off_facebook_activity. And of course there were a few HN posts on it.

Tried to run away from Adobe and they still got me, RIP... Will have to move again once they ruin Figma with feature overload.

Simplicity is so hard to achieve with design and Figma has done a great job striking the balance with feature set and simplicity. All the while delivering a super responsive platform.

Update on this, the public key is visible after the first transaction is signed by a wallet so the hash protection level is gone. After learning through key pair generation and signing process, I have come to the conclusion that a backdoor would allow for an attacker to transfer everyone's money into a wallet by signing for all public keys.

The attacker wouldn't even need a 1/hack (Q) -> P just need to be able to sign on behalf of P.

That's an interesting idea, I would have to essentially build resolvers? How can I pull it off, I'm using react native

Lots of the comments here seem to be about why do you need CRDT when so many solutions can solve collaborative text editing.

The biggest bang is for de-centralization or edge based storage similar idea to @josephg (personal computing). Imagine taking multiple hours provisioning your personal compute with all your data and stream the diff across your devices and having an internet that runs off your devices. This would finally allow for a multi device local-first experience (https://www.inkandswitch.com/local-first/) where your phone streams the changes to your data while you were on your flight to your desktop and at a bigger scale entire facebook/google data store is a streaming system with auto-merge instead of a focus on ACID DB structures and coherence.

Hands down Martin Kleppmann (Author of data intensive applications) is the biggest fan of CRDTs and this page has a lot of great info https://martin.kleppmann.com/2020/07/06/crdt-hard-parts-hydr...

I was surprised it wasn't here already. My biggest question is around doing personalization at the edge, it is a complicated idea but I would love to hear if you have some thoughts on it.

The blog articulates a real pain point that I am also trying to solve: "Anonymity, security, verifiable communication, consent, and portability. These are the pillars of a truly open internet. A full end-to-end technology stack requires identity, authentication, messaging, and personal data storage"

Drop a line if you know any other players in the space, so far I am tracking https://fission.codes/ https://inrupt.com/ https://0data.app/ https://ceramic.network/ https://www.usevana.com/

All having to do with creating a user-centric instead of product centric internet storage and authentication model.

Pretty sweet compendium of string search algorithms. String search with some twist is a classic interview question. How many interviewers do you think know BM or KPM?

Woah

Does anyone know why they did this? The great write up by Abner on https://9to5google.com/2022/03/04/assistant-snapshot-google-... really makes you think. Google now snapshot is probably the only service model platform we are all familiar with!

""It’s not clear whether end users even want an interface/experience that isn’t a grid of icons. People are already familiar with the concept of opening an app to accomplish a particular, often solitary, task. Tapping a logo and knowing what you’re in for is dead simple and now the universally ingrained way to use a mobile computer, i.e. “There’s an app for that.”"""

I always loved having google now cards on the left screen then google decided, No! You want a news reader and have to click on the snapshot button. I then hacked it together with Kieron's sweet mod: https://twitter.com/Quinny898/status/1427374948448886796

Then when i upgraded my phone (didn't want to mod again), I used Nova to kill left screen and added a large size calendar widget after I couldn't get Nova and google companion to show snapshot instead of the news reader.

Today : RIP Google now Snapshot, google is retiring :( Anyone have google now snapshot (contextual cards) replacements? Share them away

Yes!!!! I always get frustrated when ever it does the weird stretch thing as soon as you move around in street view. Just jump to the next frame of you have to.

Have you seen the first episode of Halo, there are multiple outdoor scenes where you feel sure it's a recording than a CGI render. The uncanny valley is almost crushed

Haha, I wish! This would be the equivalent a beast mode cheat code for reality.

What is your vision for web3.net? I opened it and saw a brief text. It would be great to have that domain be a landing page for communities that are operating in the space. I was hoping web3 foundation would have something like that but it seems they skewed a lot towards polkadot based things https://web3.foundation/projects/

I am interested, what would be the best way to reach you?

Primarily thinking about walled gardens like google and facebook, the local first paper https://www.inkandswitch.com/local-first/ does a great job of breaking it down. I personally want to see a world where everyone has a personal graph stored and p2p synced across their devices and light frontend that create value from this hub.

Will check it out, looks interesting.

What is Matrix? It's an answer to your question and I am genuinely curious.

Lots of people are building the real web3. What is the popular architecture? ceramic, fission.codes, solid / inrupt, or something else entirely?

Cool product, I just got it up and running because I have been looking for something to show my gazillion slack workspaces. One thing i'm curious about is how the cross application search is happening, are you just collating search across all or are there indexes being built on all my data in the sidekick backend? Trying to decide between this and getcommandE

What is a good place to start a conversation on web technologies? I am building something great but would love a medium to get people's input. The first idea was to have a twitter hashtag #techdialogue, looking for existing recommendations.

My main pain points are: managing 200+ accounts/identities, wastefulness of host based addressing vs content addressing, data silos at large data monopolies, lack of ubiquity across devices and finally lack of decentralization of the internet.

Perfect, dropping a line there as well

I would totally pay (~$300) to jump on a pre-packaged MOOC like course that has a batch of students working together and the course fee would include the hardware needed and access to a TA like resource (when the batch of students can't solve a problem together).

I can even imagine a part II with modern components after learning this level of basics.

EPIC!
