Very interesting talk. The "hypothetical future sync service" sounds a lot like a Jakarta Messaging to me. JMS already offers a standardised means of asynchronous communication whereby changes made on one device could be published to the service and picked up by another device which is subscribed to the same service.
@@holykoolala Neither really. JMS uses the PubSub pattern: th-cam.com/video/wb4qcdb0XWw/w-d-xo.html
Very interesting.
But when I am thinking of it I only can imagine some apps where part of functionality is local first. I can't imagine case where I don't need some centralized data and logic at all.
As I understand it, this is a good usecase for work that involve a couple of people, like in a company (Notion, Excel, Google Docs). Not your social media or youtube stuff.
Data Syncing is a big topic! Let's talk about it! Anyone here have anything to say on the subject?
Good
Would like to propose that we do already have a giant sub-industry within tech that provides charges based on the value it provides rather than the threat to delete data, that we could port over business models from - gaming.
Be it f2p, microtransactions, or “battlepass” type models, i think there’s a lot we may be able to learn and apply over to traditional b2b / b2c software as well
