Thinking about code & design. Play is the only humane form of work. Founder of @garden.co - creator of Citybound & @jazz.tools
Given our realisation that *actually, @jazz_tools is a database* (see QT)...

...we're hosting another meetup in SF this Wednesday!
(RSVP below!)

Thinking of Jazz as a DB begs the question: how does it fit into the stack?

Sync engines are an incremental improvement to the "centralised server + client" model - the minimal possible step towards the real-time nature of apps today.

But we can do much better 🧵

The coolest thing was being able to bring the whole team and really have time to help each new adopter.

If you missed out on that, we’re still around for two days - and our Discord is the next best thing: we’re all builders ourselves and would love to hear about what you’re building.

@localfirstconf.com is off to a fantastic start, the number of new people is mind blowing.

For us at @jazz.tools, today was all about getting hands-on and helping people building cool stuff with Jazz - and handing out our first vibe coding certifications!

Megathread of everything we're announcing for @jazz.tools at @localfirstconf.com

It's been a hell of a year in the best sense and I can't wait to share what we've been cooking.

(And this doesn't even include our "one more thing" 🤫)

Stay tuned as I expand on details over the next couple days!

Discord driven development

Shoutout to @jmsv.bsky.social for the 3h suggestion-to-🚢

Shoutout to @[email protected] for the months of gruelling work in the ProseMirror mines that made this a quick win

Nothing better than telling people to edit just their package.json for a 12x perf improvement.

I still think we can do better for this particular hot path internally.

But their app’s “screen of everything” *cold start* is now bottlenecked by React & the DOM!

Security is the most subtle challenge in full-stack apps.

Many devs still re-invent the wheel, building access control with low-level tools like RLS (or worse, ad-hoc backend code) 😱

The security design of @jazz.tools is a godsend for vibe coders (and experienced devs!) 🧵

These excellent illustrations by
Adam Nyberg (on X) are a chance to explain how @jazz.tools goes further than a "sync engine":

- By also making permissions local-first, further abstracting your business logic into something declarative
- By using an app-agnostic sync & storage server

Many in the Future of Coding community have been wondering…

What is the scrappiest fiddle of them all?
(cc @todepond.com)

The answer is:
the one that doesn’t even exist yet!

This is your reminder that you can submit non-existent demos to Future of Coding London! You still have almost a month!

People often ask me what’s so special about Future of Coding London.

“The people” is one obvious answer.

“The demos” is where it’s really at.

This is a pre-announcement announcement:

@todepond.com and I will temporarily take over hosting

Future of Coding London

from the legendary @maggieappleton.com (for reasons outlined in her latest blog post)

We’re still finding a first date in Feb/Mar, but you can already submit demos 👇

Relegating X to the “ugh I guess we still have to be there” spot among social links (now that I’ve finally set up proper handles here for @jazz.tools and @garden.co)

MFW people ask me whether jazz.tools scales to X number of users, updates per second etc.
December 20, 2024 at 1:40 PM
What it feels like when I tell people that they can think of jazz.tools as "a new kind of database"
November 26, 2024 at 5:08 PM
What I love about Bluesky is the hackability of it. Like someone created this account with followers you’ll probably want to unfollow/block and they’re neatly collected, just a button press away
November 19, 2024 at 7:01 PM
I wonder how it’s going over on X…

Not buying this baking tin, because (other than being off-brand) its title has a total topological faux-pas: these ain’t holes!
November 5, 2024 at 12:08 PM
hmm
November 3, 2024 at 5:39 PM
jazz.tools is so easy you can start building something with it *while* listening to the podcast about it.

Imagine how easy it will be once we have docs!!

Who’s at Next.JS conf and wants to chat local-first? Multiplayer? SSR + realtime updates + offline support? Come find me!
