Author of the article here; I wasn't able to understand how to get that to work, and I talked about that in the post. This demo is doing that: https://jlongster.com/why-chromaticit…

Yeah that article is better. I'm the author and I wrote this only for me as I studied it, it's not great as a way to describe it to others I wanted to start from the very beginning…

I'm the author of the article and the intensity is referring to the level of the light source used in the study to generate the data. See the study explained here: https://medium.c…

Hey! I'm James, the original creator. Yeah, I tried to stay involved but over time I had to accept that my life right now just doesn't allow time to be very involved. We've had som…

Native apps were open-sourced yes in the repo, but the community moved them out into their own repos and archived them. Hard to build native apps open-source with all the tooling, …

Hey! Glad to be an inspiration :)

What's shutting down is the public syncing server. That server is literally just a message store: it takes CRDT changes and puts them in a big table. And it servers them back out. …

I've thought about it! I'm a little burned out though on the business stuff. I'd like for this just to be a cool product now.

Yep that's right. I launched around 3 years ago, and it was brutally slow. I think it took a year to hit 100 subscribers. Another year to hit 300. This past fall, YNAB increased th…

Yes I totally regret it. There are ethical VCs that would be willing to invest a small amount and I should have done that. Bootstrapping isn't all it's cracked up to be; there are …

If the community want to wait, I'm happy to push back the date. I actually thought it felt less greedy to not wait too long, because doing it in the far future just means people ar…

Funny too because Ian (author of the posted article) designed the Prettier logo

Sure thing dang, thanks! Sorry!

Reads aren't as bad, but any kind of writes seem terrible. Take "10ms" with a grain of salt and view the numbers yourself here: https://priceless-keller-d097e5.netlify.app/ I was p…

People are already trying to get me to hook up https://litestream.io/ to it

Something sounds wrong with your setup. I've had no problems!

Read harder. https://jlongster.com/future-sql-web#more-than-just-another-...

Yep, this is the biggest problem (although I haven't seen it happen after 7 days, at least on desktop). We will provide a new backend for the Storage Foundation API when it's avail…

Did you read the post? This project does exactly that. (but focuses in IndexedDB for now because it's the only cross-browser thing that works. I actually tried a webkitFileSystem b…

Thank you!

All that does it export the entire db and write it down whenever something changes.

I just include a list of migration files in the app, iterate through them in startup and make sure they are all applied. It's pretty simple, but yeah you have to think about this i…
