Sync engines enable instantly responsive UI. But the tradeoff is usually slow startup because all data must be pre-loaded. Zero's query-driven sync enables precise control over when data syncs. To demonstrate, we scaled our "zbugs" demo up to 2.5M rows. Introducing Gigabugs:

Great talk by @aboodman of @rocicorp where he introduced Zero, their new hybrid query sync engine that searches the local cache first before falling back to the server for non-local data.

Have not looked at the code but this is a very nice demo and walkthrough of a Trellix clone with @replicache by @vimtor_ ! Thank you for contributing this. The discussion of the benefits is very well done! The only thing I would add is showing realtime sync in two tabs

Yesterday, I was challenged by @ryanflorence to recreate his Trellix app using @replicache and Remix. I accepted.

The market *is* efficient, and if Rocicorp has demonstrated anything it is that you can reliably get good people with a simple recipe: * Work on interesting problems * Be a nice place to work * Compensate fairly

Are you a JS developer who: - has opinions about documentation - has *not* tried @hello_reflect I'll pay you $50 (or $100 to the charity of your choice) to record a screencast of yourself walking through the https://t.co/Vd5qsMzylE page. Open to first 5 responses – thanks!

Last month we launched @hello_reflect and explained how our game-inspired sync is more flexible than CRDTs. Not only that, Reflect is fun and easy to use too! See for yourself – here's a step-by-step, detailed walkthrough of your first Reflect app: https://t.co/dZEQNOY2UQ

Follow up: I know the flight in question was an actual flight, because I was on it. Really interesting that a system that used to be so reliable is suddenly broken.
