AGENDA:

Writing full-stack code without repeating yourself (EN)
Noam Honig | Founder & CEO of Firefly Migration

Abstract:
As full-stack developers, we write a lot of duplicate and boilerplate code for everyday things such as simple database CRUD, data validation, authorization, and data-type conversions. How can we use a modern web architecture but still maintain our code DRY and increase productivity?

In this live coding session, we'll turn a front-end React app into a full-stack app with code that is easy to write, follow, and, most importantly - maintain. Using: React, node js, express, Postgres and remult

Evolu 1.0 release - Why local-first software matters (EN)
Daniel Steigerwald | Software Engineer, Consultant, and Web Developer

Abstract:
Evolu is React Hooks library for local-first software with end-to-end encrypted backup and sync using SQLite and CRDT.

Local-first software allows users to own their data. Evolu stores data in the user's device(s), so Evolu apps can work offline and without a specific server. How is it different from keeping files on disk? A very. Files are not the right abstraction for apps and are complicated to synchronize among devices. That's why client-server architecture rules the world. But as with everything, it has trade-offs.

Client-server architecture provides us with easy backup and synchronization, but all that depends on the ability of a server to fulfill its promises. Internet is offline, companies go bankrupt, users are banned, and errors occur. All those things happen all the time, and then what? Right, that's why the world needs local-first software. But until now, writing local-first software has been challenging because of the lack of libraries and design patterns. That's why I created Evolu.
