   It’s a tough problem! I think 90% of it is solved with GraphQL/ protobuf like rules (“only ever introduce new fields”) There are some edge cases where you might loose easy access to some data if two clients migrate concurrently, but we

   I made Jazz, that's why I know a lot about it ;) (I now have people helping me) Let me know if you'd like to know anything else.

   If you only share data with Europeans, it should only end up on the cache server in London and the main central server in Prague. I was planning to add a second main server in the US that would also receive everything but will think about h

   Yes, from my quick understanding of Orleans! In the web world, this is starting to be known as "local-first"

    Well the version of the Mesh that we offer would go away, but the framework is open source as is a simple but fully functional version of the sync server, so you could somewhat easily host your own mesh. Not having lock-in here is super imp

    Partykit is mostly an abstraction on top of Cloudflare Durable Objects and offers simplified Websockets for room-like multiplayer. Jazz is a framework for building apps around locally mutable collaborative values which are granularly synced

    Right now, we're not doing complex validation very well, we basically rely on all clients having the same schema or backwards-compatible schemas and prevent errors at the type level. But because the schemas are runtime constructs as we

    Yes, plus it’s actually local-first (works offline) and you don’t have to trust the syncing & persistence infrastructure because only encrypted edits are synced! Also you can use it as blog storage as well

    It's great! The first really good commercial open source SaaS app in my opinion and a big inspiration

    We want to support as many environments as possible and are doing them in order of easiest & most requested - you are the first one to ask about Dart/Flutter React Native is released (experimental) After that will be really good su

    - Jazz is built with granular syncing in mind. CoValues are meant to be small (think one level of a JSON tree) and then reference each other. You only resolve references and sync as far down as you need / in lists you can do pagination

    I think we're good for now but please link your GitHub / most impressive project, or shoot me an email to anselm@gcmp.io

    yes! The hard part that Jazz doesn't solve is peer discovery. If you give Jazz a peer and a transport mechanism it will happily sync to it

    Thanks, this is very helpful. If it's unfeasible for a small indie app then that's a bug in the pricing. If you have time, I'd love to hear about your app and work out alternatives (not just for you, but for everyone) anselm@

    Meteor works on top of a traditional backend (typically MongoDB afaik?) to give you full-stack reactivity. Jazz implements essentially a distributed database with permissions based on public-key cryptography, so you can meaningfully create,
