Notes

  • The web is complicated
  • Why are sync engines (LoFi) not getting massive adoption
  • Partial sync too hard for users in Replicache’s experience
    • Needed because you can’t keep all data locally all the time
  • Caching is hard, but 80/20 rule on what you pull data down
  • What if you had a query language (YEEEEESSSSS)
    • Called Replicache Zero
    • Expressed as SQL
    • Keeps up to 100MB in device
    • ”Hybrid search”
    • General purpose solution
    • Also runs server side and for SSR (it’s just another replica)
  • Live demo
    • Built a Linear clone
  • Mssively reduces the amount of code that you have to write
