I wouldn’t say I’ve had horror stories just minor gripes and frustrations. You can mix and match AppKit and UIKit with SwiftUI. So there is always an escape hatch. SwiftUI is insanely productive when it comes to building mostly simple list

Ditto (www.ditto.live) is deployed on all Alaska Airlines, Lufthansa and many other airlines. It also powers point of sale and kitchen systems at Chick fil A. The major thing that Ditto is that it can sync without internet using Bluetooth l

Do you mean actual databases like MySQL, Postgres, SQLite, MongoDB? Or more user oriented databases like HubSpot, Salesforce CRM, Microsoft Access?

Thank you! After feedback from a lot of our customers, they want more access to explicit types so you'll see a lot more APIs to control how you want conflict resolution.

I would say: A) PouchDB, Couchbase, Firebase, Realm are all databases that can sync to a "master" node in the cloud. B) AODV and BATMAN are really an ad-hoc mesh networking and routing protocol. Ditto is both A and B. You work wit

We have a mesh network that syncs devices using P2P wifi, BLE and over a LAN as well! I think this is our biggest differentiator compared to other sync systems.

No unfortunately not in our core offering. We’d like to stick to what we do best and then leave it up to the community next year to build a graphql implementation.

We will be working on granular permissions as a top priority in 2023. We have a couple of ideas running around right now.

It’s just my cofounder Adam and I that came from Realm! We’ve got Alumni from Pusher, Basho/Riak, Walmart Labs, Microsoft, to name a few

Thanks!! We will make improvements. Our replication system is very complex. I am not sure that even publishing our spec would get much usage because it’s so complex. But maybe we can open source an API?

Thank you so much!

We use multihop ad hoc network connections! That’s the BIG thing that we add to the mix!

You hit the nail on the head. We are working on this as a major initiative to solve the problem you detailed. As you can guess the truly decentralized authentication is quite new and we are releasing some features to get us less reliant on

That’s correct the browser limits us to do automatic discovery sadly. WebBLE support is on our roadmap though! However, if you use Ditto in an electron (and soon Tauri) you’ll be able to take advantage of multicast, BLE, P2P WiFi etc… while

Max, CoFounder of Ditto here. Super cool to see us on HN! The use cases are for projects, products, enterprises to build collaborative apps that can sync with the internet but fall back to local P2P connections when internet connectivity fa

Thanks so much for the kind words. We have a huge set of write ups and presentations on our delta state CRDTs coming soon! Stay tuned!

Ah sorry! :-) You see how hard it is to change perceptions? This is why people spend so much time on branding for developer tools, databases, and infrastructure companies.

by mbalex99 4y ago
Sure! In our documentation we go over some of the details here: https://docs.ditto.live/javascript/common/how-it-works/crdt I'm not sure if you know what CRDTs are but they're a family of data types

Regarding similar services? Kind of! Ditto is both an embedded + cloud database + a mesh network, it's really 2 startups in 1. A) If you're looking for just offline-first and data sync, there are some company's that have done

Regarding pricing, we are actively working on a general available pricing for our entire system. This is going to take us a couple of quarters to operationalize everything; we have a pretty good idea of what the pricing will be for the ever

My startup built an SDK framework that’s allows companies to build offline apps that can even sync over a multihop mesh network. It’s powered by a CRDT to handle the conflict resolution. From my experience most of our customers are not mobi
