Notes

  • Super hot topic; conf was very oversubscribed
  • I wasn’t involved with organising at all, but a bunch of folks were messaging me to get tickets
    • This wasn’t just me; it was happening to a lot of people
  • Biggest takeaways
    • Sync engines have a lot of mind share
    • Martin’s vision for generic sync that survives startup death seems like a great idea
      • But biz model still needs to get figured out IMO
    • Barefoot developers made quite a splash
      • Let’s deliver on the promise of end user programming that doesn’t have to be at massive scale!
        • Seems like a really nice fit IMO since LoFi is good at local data but less good at firehose

Hallway Track

  • Lots of folks now talking about my long running questions (yay!)
    • Business models
    • Access control
    • Partial sync
  • The web is complicated today! LoFi may be a breathe of fresh air
