Is Reddit fighting the bot problem? They introduced a feature to hide post history which makes it hard to know whether you’re interacting with a spammy bot account. If anything they’re embracing it.
Flutter developer experience is top notch. The best place you can see this is by comparing the experience of upgrading React Native vs upgrading Flutter. Flutter Web with WASM is also very cool. If you’re using a bespoke design for your app and don’t care about looking native, it’s overall a more predictable way to manage cross platform development.
That said, React Native has many great third party libraries whereas Flutter is dominated by a lot of low quality solutions.
This is impressive!
After Realm depreciation I have been trying many different offline sync options, they are especially few on Dart…
Dart-Rust binding generator is pretty great though so it’s nice this is in Rust. Will keep an eye on this.
Schengen thing should be working like this but more and more I have been asked for ID/passport, usually by the airline before boarding or local police acting as border guards after arrival.
Yeah I have thought about more user friendly Violentmonkeh before. This sort of thing just needs to be open source and non-profit, there isn’t even much upkeep to it. At what point will the investors want some form of return?
This is built from the system that created enshittifcation in the first place; a cleaner web is definitely not going to come from a startup.
My app is for chat-based notes[1] and I have been wanting E2E local-first sync on it for a while. Switched from Realm to SQLite after it was deprecated but never found a good non-niche DB SDK for it on Flutter. Tried to handroll sync + AES-GCM encryption with Supabase Realtime and it kind of worked but I knew managing encryption was going to be hell and also wanted collaboration features. Matrix was built for chat, and at some point I read someone call it basically a graph sync engine & potentially supporting general texting with other clients also seemed like a cool bonus.
That said, adopting it (even partially) was/is a big mess, there's a thousand corner cases with key exchange, etc. so it's really a big commitment, especially if there's no existing user-friendly SDK for it.
I'm not using yjs (yet), just going to more basic event sourcing that is essentially last-write wins but that's a direction I want to explore in the future.
This could be exactly what I need, AES GCM field-level encryption support is a godsend. Unfortunately seems like it’s planned and not ready.
If I hadn’t just finished rolling out a sync feature built around the Matrix protocol, I would have loved to properly try this out.
I wanted to give it benefit of the doubt but the same poster has an identical AI “Interesting point about X” comment in a different thread. This checks out.
