Absolutely – CRDTs have some unique benefits, this among them. I recommended a potential user to CRDTs a few weeks ago.

But most apps people build today do in fact have a central server. And by leveraging that you can get some really nice benefits.



Yeah, it's interesting to me how from a user's point of view both technologies do something similar, but from an architecture point of view the use cases are mostly disjoint. I totally agree that something like Reflect makes more sense for most apps people build today.

Anyway, congrats on the launch! Reflect looks great. I'm really excited to see the building blocks emerge for local-first software.
