Mild nit: your website hijacked the back button, I had to spam click back like 30 times to get back to this hacker news comment thread

Click-and-holding or right-clicking the back button will give you a list of last N URLs in your tab history. This page only generates one auto-redirect, so the HN URL will show up.

Tip for next time this happens: hold down the back button for a menu of your history. It can help get where you want faster. Although not sure it helps too much if you literally had to click 30 times

Where are the information about the company? I cannot find an About Us, where they are based, etc?

Founder here - we’re working on that page, so far there’s just info on me on https://gcmp.io/team

But I was able to hire a couple really good first people recently! We’re based all over Europe.

Let me know what else you’d like to know!

I'm more than a little worried about the following all being `Coming Soon`:

- Cursors & carets

- Two way sync to your DB

- Video presence & calls

    - both the Group and BinaryCoStreams
All of these are the key reasons I would be evaluating this framework to handle my data. All of these are not fully implemented yet.

It is these key topics of live reloading/updating data that make or break an app. In my opinion, if you haven't concretely solved these problems, you haven't really built a viable state framework for 2024.

I really like the patterns they've implemented though, looks a lot like the same framework I just built on top of MobX, websockets, and React for a recent project. They're headed in the right direction, but I'm not sure they realize how much more work they have to go before this is fully fleshed out.
