very cool! I was there for maybe 2 minutes before HN took the system down :D

Not very cool if it breaks under hardly any load.

You'd think they'd test their tech demos on more than a handful of people before launching. This doesn't give much confidence at all in their product.

I love building with Jazz. It's so refreshing to build apps without thinking about backends.

The number one thing I'm looking forward to is React Native support. Having local data that syncs is essential for many mobile apps, but there are no easy solutions yet. (Besides iCloud, which is limited to iOS/macOS)

With Jazz, I can see a future where building syncing, cross-platform apps becomes effortless.

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

Founder here - do you mean the chat example? Or just the homepage itself?

I’m also experiencing issues with the website. I when to the docs page and accidentally pressed back in my browser, after which the forward button wouldn’t work to undo the back operation.

Seems like the website breaks basic browser navigation.

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…

It is already persisting and syncing data (fully encrypted) between the cloud and other users. You can think of Jazz as a distributed database itself. The coming-soon badges are about interop with traditional systems and higher level features we will add later. The fundamentals are solved and you can build full multiplayer, local-first apps with it. Does that make sense?

Does it store data persistently anywhere (on servers?). If so where?

Reproduced with Firefox 131.0 on Windows 11. Happens if I click to jazz.tools. After pressing back once, I am still on jazz.tools, but have a forward arrow. It does seem related to the "chat" because the "result" window changes when I click between those back/forward arrow controls of the browser.
