The Grand Unifying Architecture of Frontend

we agree here, it's possible to build all the same experiences with all the different frameworks. that's the whole point of this article - dev.to/playfulprogr...

dev.to

I used to joke that the history of frontend development could be retraced by following the argument...

000

you missed the point. how was it even possible to implement something that never requires a round trip in a way that requires a round trip? it happened to you once. for a less smart developer, or for agents, it might happen a lot more frequently. do you see my point?

100

i like to think about pit of success - the default ways to build things should be the most performant and ergonomic. anything else is a pit of failure.

000

> Even Solid apps have round trips not for opening a fricking dropdown. its actually kindof baffling to me that you implemented optimistic updates for the cards moving around the board, but somehow opening a dropdown required latency. that's not good UX or DX.

200

i can understand being tired of megabytes of JS, but offering a solution that requires extra round trips by default isn't a real solution. there is a very good reason SPA architecture exists, and i don't like when people delete all the nuance from arguments.

100

doing that required recognizing both the strengths of weaknesses of both approaches but as far as i can see d* community looks at only the positives of d* and only the negatives of everything else

100

the feeling is mutual all i see from the datastar community is misrepresentation i am actually a big fan of datastar, and we're doing a lot of work in solid currently to make it do the same things datastar is already good at doing

100

sorry that wasn't mentioned in your post, and you said "very interactive app" so i had high expectations looking forward to a real demo of a "very interactive app" built this way

100

brother even opening a dropdown has latency forget about the actual client-server interactions... how does opening a dropdown cause client server roundtrip lmao

yeah this one pretty much proves the point ryan was trying to make you either make janky apps or put everything into web components choose between bad dx and bad ux with solid you dont have to choose

so each "channel" has a filesystem and sandbox so the agents can write and run code, clone projects, make PRs, and run services, kindof like openclaw

great read as always! quick question - have you tried opencode's web GUI? do you like codenomad more?

more generally if you take the network out of the critical path of user interaction (e.g. the sync engine architecture i'm using here, where the network is abstracted away into a separate layer). when you're writing synchronous code i think SPAs are actually pretty straightforward

141

context issue aside, the only way to pass async data through context is by keeping it wrapped in a promise? unless i'm okay with the pending boundary higher up being triggered?

130

you are `await`ing something that isn't a promise according to typescript, you'd also have to change the context type to this interface Ctx { num: Promise<number>; }

220

i dont see context being used in this playground, did you put the wrong link

120

hmm apparently you can't set context after an await? this must be a bug right? @rich-harris.dev

110

How does svelte's async work with context? What happens when a parent component fetches some data and sets it into some context for its child components to render? Does it trigger the pending boundary above the parent component or the child component?

190

PowerSync definitely handles local data through a SQLite database, and while it doesn't directly handle the server side, it gives you an `uploadData` function where you can integrate your backend to process mutations, and it's pretty straightforward to implement.

Sync Engines and Local Data

I just realized that you might be somewhat misunderstood about what PowerSync is exactly watching this youtu.be/1uVR5X7HpI8?...

are there other sync engines that don't have as many moving parts?

Today we launched the beta of Sync Streams, our new partial sync architecture that is the successor to legacy Sync Rules. Sync Streams is a flexible format that lets you define exactly which data from your backend can sync to each client using simple SQL-like queries.

Want to make your app work while offline? Great news! All you need is your existing backend database and @powersync.com with some @tanstack.com DB for additional seasoning!

𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗰 𝗔𝗜 𝗛𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻 🤖🧑‍💻 We are hosting a virtual hackathon where the challenge is to build innovative AI-powered software using PowerSync as a sync engine.

142

the focus should still be on the framework user we just need to recognize that a lot of the framework users are gonna be ai agents

000

new saas provider - powersync can be self hosted, but yes that is one additional thing to deploy/monitor. fully worth the benefits imo, as it also means you never have to worry about putting a redis cache in front of your database to speed up reads.

000

defining a schema - powersync makes this one really easy, it can autogenerate the schema for you by looking at the data coming from your backend db

100

new backend adapter - yes technically it's a "new thing", but in practice you basically move the mutation and auth logic scattered throughout the codebase into a single backend endpoint that handles syncing, so in the process of adding a backend adapter you also remove a lot of the existing logic

100

wrapping localStorage in a signal only gets you the ability to read data offline, nothing else and even then if you want to guarantee consistent reads you almost have to rebuild an entire database on top of localstorage, at which point, just use sqlite or tanstack db
