Fusion VS Damselfly

- Even frequent exchanges like, “Hey, I’m heading to Costco, need anything?” where the follow-up is easier spoken than typed, or may require a brief brainstorming - “Oh, remember our neighbors are visiting us on Sunday?”

That’s how 8 years later (2 years ago) me and my co-founder decided to implement a new chat app.

— Technology —

To make it short, I’ll post just one point here: Actual Chat is based on Fusion (https://github.com/servicetitan/Stl.Fusion) - think MobX / computed observables, but distributed. In Actual Chat, the state it manages spans from our servers to every client app, creating an eventually consistent “state mesh”. The unified state management, where clients and servers use exactly the same abstraction to “observe” the changes happening to any bit of content, is quite a challenge from the technology standpoint. IMO it alone deserves a brief look.

P.S. Thank you for reading up to this point!

P.S. The app is created with Fusion, which is another cool thing for Blazor: https://github.com/servicetitan/Stl.Fusion

So there are different ways how you can do this, there are multiple different protocols for Unity, for example. There is also this more generic state replication framework.

There is this lib: https://github.com/servicetitan/Stl.Fusion

The library benchmarked in the article is Stl.Fusion: https://github.com/servicetitan/Stl.Fusion. I've only learned about it today, and the documentation is a bit messy, but that seems to be a really interesting project. The author describes it as a .Net library to quickly develop efficient, distributed, real-time web applications.

Disagree with every "no" here :) The answer is yes, but you need a fairly fancy "extra": https://github.com/servicetitan/Stl.Fusion/

Code is here if you're interested: https://github.com/Webreaper/Damselfly/blob/master/Damselfly.Core/Services/ExifService.cs - although this may be overcomplicated for OP's needs, and just a Process Launch is all you really need.

Here's mine: https://github.com/Webreaper/Damselfly/blob/master/Damselfly.Core.Utils/Utils/EventConflator.cs

Okay, released this today: https://github.com/Webreaper/Damselfly/releases/tag/4.0.5

Not quite at 1,000 github stars, but getting there: Damselfly

I've been developing with C# on Macs for years. I built this, which I develop on Mac and run on Linux. Some people run it on Macs, some run it on Windows. https://github.com/webreaper/Damselfly

(my project: https://github.com/webreaper/Damselfly)

Have a go with my app then (https://github.com/webreaper/Damselfly) and see if the maps are better. It's free, and you can run it alongside Photoprism with no ill effects.

Sorry, in a few threads this morning and thought I'd linked it here. It's Damselfly
