Products that do what Matrix-CRDT – real-time collaborative apps using Matrix as backend does
Hi HN! Matrix-CRDT connects the worlds of Yjs [1] (a proven, high performance CRDT) with that of Matrix.org [2]. It started as an experiment, asking myself; can we store "state updates of a datastore" in Matrix instead of chat messages? Now, I'm convinced it's actually a really powerful combination to develop real-time, collaborative software. I'm using it for a new project and so far didn't have to write a backend yet. Matrix takes care of a lot of stuff: Authentication, E2EE, federation, hosting, etc. - so I can focus on the client. I love the ideas of Local First [3] software. Personally,…

This is a demo of a family of libraries intended to make it easy to build local-first, real-time applications for mobile, desktop and the web using CRDTs. It currently has support for using Sqlite, PostgreSQL or a plain old record store (Hive) as data storage backend. https://github.com/cachapa/crdt There's also a websocket sync layer that transparently handles the connection and delta changesets between participants. https://github.com/cachapa/crdt_sync

Hi Hacker News, Preamble: Matrix [0] is a protocol for real-time communication, most known as secure federated chat with client named "element". If you want to join Matrix you may use any public server, but any features, bridges, integrations, etc. configured by server admin, so if you want to add/change or remove something, you can't do that. In most cases, it's question about bridges - like slack, telegram, discord, facebook messenger, etc. That's why I started https://etke.cc/ What is it? Actually, it's html form ( https://etke.cc/#contact ) where you…

Hey HN, I'm excited to share a new side project I've been working on. The product is called Matrices. You can check it out here: https://matrices.com/. With Matrices, you can explore, visualize, and share large (100k rows) datasets–all without code. Filter data down to just what you want, visualize it with built-in charts, and share your results with one click. You can use it today (no login or waitlist or anything). Just copy and paste your data from a google sheet or CSV file. It's hard to describe the feeling of "gliding over data" you get with Matrices, so I'd rather…

4 months ago, our announcement for our free, multi-node, petabyte-scale time-series database generated 200+ comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23272992 Many commented on the Timescale License, our source-available license governing advanced features (eg multi-node). Most were positive, but some pointed out drawbacks (who says HN can't be productive!). That spurred an internal debate. Today we're happy to share an updated Timescale License with new rights, including the "right-to-repair" and "right-to-improve." And we’re doubling-down on our community, making all…

Still pretty rough ... Emphasizes: 1) Simple, no-frill dashboard for managing posts (files). 2) Lightweight markdown editor 3) Relationships: taxonomy (file tagging) and fast linking (content to other posts) Some of the important key bindings I have are ctrl+c for code, ctrl-L for linking text to other posts. Right now this is baked in but I'd want to allow users to customize it. It's still pretty beta but let me know what ya'll think! Here's the github page if you want to help out: https://github.com/keera/matrix

This is a two man team and we're in full-on development of a new platform to assist in multiplayer games. We're looking to launch in about a month or two with an OpenID server accessible to customers (or they can use provider like Facebook/Twitter) and a couple cool multiplayer features. After we launch development will continue until we have a well-rounded API. We're primarily targeting HTML5+JS developers but the system will work with any language that can make RESTful API calls. We know there's some stiff competition out there but we're looking for feedback and what features may make…

One year ago I started to explore combining CRDTs with end-to-end encryption to allow people to collaborate on the same documents/data. Couple months back I got a first prototype working. Think of a simple Google Docs, but end-to-end encrypted and offline-first (iOS & Android for now). Why CRDTs? Every document is a CRDT data structure. This is very important for conflict resolution. With CRDTs this can happen on the client and everyone can resolve to exactly the same state of the document once all the updates are synchronised. This basically allows to exchange the updates/data via…

Dynajot (http://www.dynajot.com) aims to be an extremely low friction way to create real-time collaborative applications. With a single javascript include, the library syncs DOM nodes for multiple users across browsers. You can view the code on Github here: https://github.com/rabidsnail/dynajot-sync

I wanted to free my time for working out and my family, so I built a social media scheduler that doesn't break all the time. It has cross-posting across all major social media platforms. The platform is built with NestJS, Kafka, Redis for the backend, Nextjs for the landing, and React with Vite for the frontend private part. I'd love to get your thoughts on what more inside would save you time from going to all those different platforms one by one.

Hi! Recently I've launched - mybfio.io - platform for software reviews with social network aspect. Prehistory Many great system are already in place that allow people to search and rate software products, including the site I am publishing this post on. However I have always felt that those systems are not specifically centered around product/software development lifecycle (releases, real users feedback over a product entire lifetime, so on) and often too broad or not designed specifically for that type of work, which is ok. Why? As an opensource author I would like to have constant…

This is an app to easily manage a workload of multiple projects and to ease collaboration between teams. We built it on weekends whilst running our agency and it’s still very much in development. I’m posting it because I’m interested on what HNers think we should focus on next: * A ‘client view’ of each project? * Project level permissions to allow freelancers to access particular projects? * Estimates vs Actuals – see how they compare and use this data to predict future delivery times. You can sign up for a free lifetime account at the moment. Please comment if you have any feedback or…

Howdy friends! Tell me if this is an atrociously terrible idea - I've been working on building a leetcode for clientside devs so we can practice React and Javascript interview questions in a more concise way, I call it clientside.dev I just finished a beta version of it yesterday and plan on releasing it with many more problems on Jan 1st but it's there if you wanna play with it open to any ideas / feedback however mean or nice it may be :)
