  • Is offline-first not enough? Do we need "serverfree"?

    Hopefully the sync tech being developed for it is solidly open, but it's good to have access to your data regardless.

    The thing that always bothered me about that article is:

    > Notably, the object server is open source and self-hostable, which reduces the risk of being locked in to a service that might one day disappear.

    It appears that the object server is neither open source and nor self-hostable. The repository that they link is mostly empty. It has a rich version history of "releases" that only change the changelog file.

    I assume the article was accurate when written, and have always wondered what happened. So I suspect mongo rewrote the git history to remove the code when they bought Realm. Was it ever open source? Did they intimidate people into taking down forks or did nobody bother?

    I do see an edit to the README around that time adding that a license is required to run the self-hosted server. It is dated about two months before the linked article, but they may not have noticed or it may be back-dated:

    > The client-side library for local persistence is called Realm Database, while the associated Firebase-like backend service is called Realm Object Server. Notably, the object server is open source and self-hostable, which reduces the risk of being locked in to a service that might one day disappear.

    It appears the linked github repository has had all of its history wiped out. I think they kept the commit log but rewrote the history to remove all of the files.

  • Why can't firebase be written in pure dart? (the current uses platform channel codes and not compatible with all platforms)

    The MongoDB RealmDB team had to wait for Dart to implement new features to make their "realtime" database sync system work correctly. More info here: https://github.com/realm/realm-object-server/issues/55
