Going to try my hand at a native iOS application, or rather, going to try Claude's hand at a native iOS application + PowerSync


"I don't know, can they?"


It is amazing how often I sit with crappy or no connectivity, even in today's day and age, and so if it were easier for more apps to be designed to work offline first that would truly be amazing.

Exciting development PowerSync team, good luck and Godspeed!


Yeah it's a shocker that even major apps like Apple's Weather aren't local first. Lots of room for improvement.


Why would you want a local first weather app? It's not very useful to have yesterday's weather or even from one hour ago.


Great question and that's what you'd think. I spend a lot of time in the outdoors though, and on day 3 of a camping trip into an area with no signal, I'd rather have a stale prediction for the day 4 weather than no prediction.


Got it, thanks.


Dead vehicle skin flakes, delicious!


It's an interesting thing to balance. The health risk of the disease vs the 'developmental' risk of a lack of 'normal' social interaction with other kids and teachers in a 'so-called' formal school setting. I am all for my kids returning to school, but that is easy for me to say and so I think everyone needs to have the space to make the decisions that they feel comfortable with. And that extends to the teachers as well, and this is where it gets really interesting. What happens if the teachers aren't comfortable with going back to a class full of little germ spreaders?
