Why do I have to opt-OUT of things like Tailwind (for example) when using AI coding tools?

Surely it should default to use more low-level and efficient primitives than abstractions that were often only designed for human DX.

Yep, but this is very useful in tests where you want to prove an API's implementation is more defensive than its type declarations alone.

There's a lot more to a local-first app than just a sync engine.

For example, as I experimented building more complex apps, I soon realized I also needed to manage background tasks more intelligently: `setTimeout` and yolo just isn't good enough!

So now we have TinyTick 🤣

So many new followers. Happy new year everyone and make sure to check out @tinybase.bsky.social too! 🙏

#12 – James Pearce: Tinybase - localfirst.fm A podcast about local-first software development.

This podcast was released 5 months ago, but I just listened. Wow, so many insights and inspirations!

TinyBase - The reactive data store for local-first apps by James Pearce @jamespearce.bsky.social

No, nothing in the protocol. I would probably implement this for now with a schema or ‘mutator’ listeners on each store.

Oh man I hope so!

lol can they do my project management too?

The highest C (chroma) values for a given L (lightness %) that let you display any H (hue) on a P3 display without fallback:

L=20% C=0.04
L=30% C=0.06
L=40% C=0.09
L=50% C=0.11
L=60% C=0.13
L=70% C=0.15
L=80% C=0.1
L=90% C=0.05

(Thanks @evilmartians.com! 🚀)

Certainly more excited about this launch than the fact that Bluesky doesn't render the animated GIF that goes with it! 😢

📑 New 'Architectural Options' guide.

We had feedback that it's hard to understand all the different ways that TinyBase can be used!

So... our new guide runs through many of the ways you can persist & synchronize data - both natively and with other platforms.

Hermit monk here. Can confirm. But it helps I can catch my own fish.

I think it's going to be a fun local-first week.

I'd love to be at the Monday morning standup when this web team reviews their weekend traffic.

Alright, I think we need a JavaScript library starter pack.

Please help by nominating other accounts to add! 🙏

That feeling when the app data syncs faster than the CSS loads.

TinyBase v5.4 is going to be fun!

Awesome to see all the local-first fans on here already.

Like for a follow if I haven’t found you yet!
