Incidentally, I'm also trying to explore @livestore.dev with @redwoodjs.com. I'm excited about the prospect of both. Would love to help test when I can as things get smoothed out.

I think I have a small guide in the works for rwsdk, drizzle for both d1 and durable objs, and better-auth.

Drizzle w/ both cf SQLite options and better-auth in one repo and drizzle studio was slightly tricky to figure out.

Neither the app or the guide are ready yet but will publish something.

Working on a finance tracking app for kids/parents. Deposit money into parents “bank account”, kids earn whatever interest rate parents want, tracks compounding effect… goal is a simple fun way to learn.

Very simple.

This is awesome. Any plans for a guide on using LiveStore with rwsdk?

I built a spreadsheet to calculate this for a couple months I was car free. Calculated bus, bike, car commutes… opportunity cost, hard costs (fuel, fares, repairs)… it was a fun nerdy way to inform myself on the benefits and how awful this city is to do anything other than drive.

I think pectin would be nicer. But never tried making gels. I’ve had all sorts of weird results with alginate. Spinach gel that was too rubbery and brittle, honey gel that was barely gel at all.

I’ve wondered about thickness of homemade gels. I feel like gelling agents would over thicken. Like guar gum or gelatine. What about pectin (you’d have to cook it) or glutinous rice flour. Or already thick ingredients like date paste, molasses, whipped honey, peanut butter, flax (too much fibre).

Curious how it does for transcoding larger videos. Also exit node speeds on Tailscale. My synology slows pretty bad.

What are you aiming to do with it? I’ve also been thinking of a small machine to add in front of my Synology
