automerge VS watoi

I'm not aware of any usable CRDT implementations for Dart, my plan is to use the flutter_rust_bridge to make use of automerge v2, which is a full CRDT implementation written in Rust that has the advantage of having a very simple API to work with (basically a key/value store).

Yes. I asked the devs about ideas for this in this ticket and got an interesting response. It's aimed towards server-side handling, but the same ideas apply to local storage as well.

There are a lot of implementations of CRDTs out there. In JavaScript, for instance, we have Y.js (https://github.com/yjs/yjs) and automerge (https://github.com/automerge/automerge). There’s also a Y.js demo (https://demos.yjs.dev/prosemirror/prosemirror.html) that allows you to play around with them and have your own collaborative app running in just a few seconds. All messages are exchange via webRTC and manages the state via CRDTs. This can be a great sandbox to understand how CRDTs work and see.

Anyone unsure of what a CRDT is, this is the perfect intro: https://www.inkandswitch.com/peritext/

The two most widely used CRDT implementations (combining JSON like general purpose types and rich text editing types) are:

- Automerge https://github.com/automerge/automerge

- Yjs https://github.com/yjs/yjs

For instance, practicing "local first web" using automerge with all it's Distributed Persistence Primitives on CRDT's and Vector Clocks - i.e. when the Browser View is treated like a Database replica, essentially; or adopting a real data mapper that's giving you an API from your database Schema, using Prisma or Hasura... or even implementing a custom codegenereted one, as a babel plugin, on top of TSED and Micro-ORM.

then I decided to use residentsummers watoi but it can only be done using mac and VM instances of MAC OS was not very helpful. Finally using this tool I managed to do it.

(Switched to iPhone recently, and this is what I ended up doing. But if you're tech-savvy, check this out: https://github.com/residentsummer/watoi - P.s. it didn't work for me!)

Personal drama here because tech support is not my hobby. Did you know that there is still no official way of transferring WhatsApp chats from Android to iPhone? I found out the hard way, so I just want to celebrate my getting it done without using paid apps that may compromise sensitive data. And it only took an awful week of troubleshooting while mostly following this guide.

Nice! Is there same for extracts dB of Viber & Facebook apps from Android and transfer to another Android?

Regarding my Whatsapp Data, how will I go ahead and copy it? Also, I have the Dual App (a feature by Samsung) and my Whatsapp Chats are all on my DualApp Whatsapp. I've about the github repo residentsummer/watoi for WhatsApp migration, the question though, will it copy over Images?

the main tool i used for transferring the messages is https://github.com/residentsummer/watoi and also used https://github.com/ElDavoo/WhatsApp-Crypt14-Decrypter to decrypt the messages from the android phone . a full guide is here - https://github.com/needs-coffee/Whatsapp-android-to-ios-guide

There is an open issue regarding media file migration here: https://github.com/residentsummer/watoi/issues/1 and a recent update by another developer who managed to get media files working (WIP) can be seen in a comment here: https://github.com/residentsummer/watoi/issues/1#issuecomment-932349457

There is no complete and fully functional solution. The one that seems to have the most traction is open source and available here: https://github.com/residentsummer/watoi
