Fusion VS ASP.NET Core

- 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/

> Just .GetAwaiter().GetResult() it.

That won’t work with various synchronization contexts, where doing this would cause a deadlock. There’s not much fun in trying to debug such issues.

And now that various libraries only provide async api, or worse an non-async version wrapping the async one with . GetAwaiter().GetResult(), you’ll be in for a treat updating your dependencies.

Async all the way is the answer, although various frameworks still don’t offer async hooks. Recently I ran into this for example trying to write an async validator in blazor, but that’s not possible and you have to work around it [1].

C# 5 introduced async/await almost 12 years ago. And we’re still not “async all the way”.

This approach to organizing middleware enhances code readability, maintainability, and reusability. By following this encapsulation pattern, you're adhering to best practices in ASP.NET Core development, ensuring your application remains well-organized and scalable.

Even if you look at Microsoft’s by far most popular GitHub project, they’re still only half as big as SupaBase. If you believe “the SupaBase story”, SupaBase grew and became twice as large as Microsoft in 3 years. Below is their likes over time if you’re curious, together with a couple of additional “too good to be true” Silicon Valley projects.

To achieve these objectives, we will take inspiration from ASP.NET Core Identity's PasswordHasher class. It incorporates a concept of hash versioning, allowing only the number of iterations to be modified.

yes I watched several courses, may be aim not getting clearly. but i worked with asp.net which uses http call and firebase cloud function also which uses socket connection, for socket connection its makes sense to use observable bcoz there streams of data we can observe once the connection establish ,but for http it need to be call every time.
