Notes

  • Has been making offline-capabable software for a long time
  • Originally there was only local
  • The iPhone changed that since users now had multiple devices
  • S3, Dropbox, etc happened
  • Around 2012 Apple’s iCloud / CoreData file sync was LoFi
    • I disagree that this was LoFi: you could absolutley lose data with iCloud when files conflicted
  • He built an equivalent (β€œEnsambles”)
    • WebDAV!
    • Vector clocks
    • Garbage collected old data (i.e. non-monotone)
