A blog post explaining the journey of building the Colanode sync engine. Colanode is an open-source and local-first collaboration platform.

I’m working on Colanode, which is built to close the gap between the convenience of cloud tools and the ownership of local software. It brings chat, docs, databases, and files into…

I did look into it back then, but was not very convenient for my use case. Apart from the data model, I wanted to use Yjs for conflict resolution and wanted more direct control ove…

Nice post! I'm building an offline-first collaboration app and went on the route of building a custom sync engine, mainly because the app is open-source and I didn't want to introd…

Thanks for pointing it out. Will check our build and release process to fix it.

Thank you! I haven’t used Notesnook personally, but from their description it focuses mainly on note-taking. Colanode, by contrast, also includes collaboration features such as cha…

Thank you for taking the time to test it and call these issues out. Both points slipped through our refactor/cleanup checklist. - We’ll replace the current error handling for serve…

Mainly using SQLite and having access to native file system for reading and writing files. We wanted to provide a full offline functionality. While it's possible to achieve that in…

That's a great question! We didn't come to it yet, because we are focused only in desktop app for now. This is definitely one of the challenges we need to solve once we start worki…

Hi! For now, Colanode is available only as a desktop app (Electron). The primary reason is that we wanted to implement some local-first features, which are currently more complex t…

Thank you! Will look into the download speed issue. As for SSO, we don't have immediate plans, but we'll certainly consider it for the future.

Thank you! We're still working on the hosted offering, hence the "coming soon" pricing page. Regarding Valkey, I included it as an example of a Redis compatible alternative, but yo…

Hey HN, I'm Hakan, the founder of Colanode ( https://github.com/colanode/colanode ), an open-source, local-first collaboration app combining the best of Slack-style chats and Notio…

I've working on Colanode, an open-source & local-first Slack and Notion alternative that you can self host. You can use Colanode for real-time chat, as a knowledge center, project …
