SWEs really love talking about their tech stack, especially if it involves sync or local-first

Our caching strategy is "hope two people don't edit the same thing at once." Low concurrency has been carrying the entire stack for years. Now more users and larger orgs are jumping in and the cracks are starting to show.

Just watched @maggieappleton.com's talk on home-cooked software and it really clicked with what I'm doing with sweepmail.app! 🎯

Makes sense that not every piece of software needs to scale to millions of users

I just launched a waitlist for sweepmail.app! ✨🧹

Google Cloud allows me to invite up to 100 test users. I will let some people test the app in the next few weeks once the core functionality is in place!

I just built a toy version of my Gmail client for mysidequest.xyz Week 3!

It has working OAuth and connection to the Gmail API. Only text render at this point, but I learned a lot about parsing the email format. I even got åöä to work properly 🙌

#webdev #sidequest #buildinpublic

I am building a side project with mysidequest.xyz! My goal for the program is to have a functioning email client that I can personally use instead of sluggish Gmail by the end of 6 weeks. Planning to post progress updates here every week!

Hey bsky! Never became active on Twitter, but this seems like a new start 👋

Interested in all things web dev. Recently dove into the world of local-first thanks to @syntax.fm and @localfirst.fm. Looking to found a startup at some point in the near future 🏗️
