Apparently he's going to write about Merkle CRDTs next, but if you can't wait:

If you want to read about another implementation using Merkle CRDTs for practical local-first document database storage, I've been building a new database for about a year. I plan to share more but it's definitely an example of a Merkle CRDT, inspired by a lot of the same research in the Dolt paper.

And if you really can't wait, I made the mistake of thinking Prolly Trees weren't unicit, but figuring out that they were!

Wow, I hadn't seen this follow-up post! Cool!

(btw I really love your masthead graphics)

Thanks for pointing out the discrepancy! Some people don't like generative images, but they're pretty fun to generate.

The more abstract and stylized the image, the easier it is to avoid uncanny valley effects. Your images are spectacular; I'd love it if you divulged a bit of the secret sauce; perhaps in a blog post?

Oh, sure. I didn't think it'd be of interest. It's largely just knowing the names of visual components and art styles, but the generative AI takes it pretty far by itself if you're not too picky about what it gives you. But I'll write it up and let you know.

Will those comment eventually update once the blog is appended? :-)
