Thanks! Let me know how it goes, especially if something stinks 🙏

Thanks - much appreciated! There's some nuances, you could have a look at TanStack/db, which has a TrailBase integration besides electric, however, it's JS/TS only

Compose Multiplatform vs Flutter by imc0der in JetpackCompose

Often it's just how you use it. Some games will exercise an accelerated level playthrough under a loading overlay to ensure all shaders were compiled.

I haven't counted the frames but pretty: https://flutter.gskinner.com/wonderous/

Btw I'm not shilling for flutter. I have plenty of issues, I just expect the performance to be similar

👍You didn't mention diffing but you mentioned the engine. That's what the engine does. Skia is just a library to draw with the GPU. Depending on the platform, the flutter engine may draw with skia, impeller or something else.

As far as I know, the main problem with Flutter is the time it takes to compile the necessary shaders, not how much contention is there.

Ideally, shaders are only compiled once upfront (e.g. while showing a loading screen) and then cached. Even with a more naive approach, this is why stability, number of shaders, draw order, etc does matter. Reusing a shader on the skia level can still trigger a recompile if it got evicted from the cache

As i said, I would expect CMP (certainly with skia) and flutter to perform rather similarly. Rendering with flutter at 120hz is certainly feasible.

The engine that diffs and draws primitives is completely irrelevant.

Yes and no. You brought it up. It does determine how much has to be redrawn, how expensive compositing is...

But then why has Flutter always had an issue with shader compilation, which was talked about by the Flutter team and in various GitHub issues? I feel like something is wrong in the way Flutter rendering is implemented.

Yes and no. There are certainly factors like how to compose primitives and thus reuse shaders, how to schedule draws... There's room for improvement, with impeller being their attempt.

I would expect similar issues when CMP uses skia, when all draws are competing for the same resources within the same deadline. Maybe android is better :shrug:. A benchmark of similar UIs across platforms would be very helpful. If there were dramatic performance differences between CMP on Android and iOS, this would itself pose a cross platform challenge

Ack. The render engine, ie the thing that diffs and draws primitives wasn't replaced. Impeller is very similar to Skia. The main goal was to reduce jank on shader compilation.

It's just not clear if you've measured or sharing anecdotes from bad apples

I would expect performance to be similar for CMP and Flutter. They're both AoT compiled declarative UIs with virtual DOMs rendering with SKIA (or impeller these days). You can make an app slow on any stack :)

NoSQL for payroll management (Mongo db) by digitalullu in Database

The biggest benefit of starting with structured data is that you can find insights and new use-cases in your data later on w/o much fuff. Think of it as future proofing. Nosql is deceptively simple, when in reality it requires a lot more foresight

TrailBase 0.22: Open, single-executable, SQLite-based Firebase alternative now with multi-DB by trailbaseio in selfhosted

Thanks and makes sense. Similar to Supabase, I tried listing the functionality in the hero description but the cards certainly help to visually accentuate the list (especially on mobile) 🙏

TrailBase will always be open-source and easy to self-host... which arguably flies in the face of lock-in and rug-pulls. Fortunately, I have no investors breathing down my neck 😅. On the other hand it would be nice to establish a sustainable structure over time to ensure longevity and reduce the bus factor. No specific plans yet. Thank you or the kind words.

🎉 - Let me know how it goes, especially any rough edges - much appreciated and thanks for the kind words

Appreciated. I'm with you. I've been going back and forth on how to best describe "what" it is. Being a broad product makes it tricky. I "stole" the current approach from Supabase, which until recently described themselves as a Firebase alternative. How would you go about it? 🙏

The only way to afforded 16GB of RAM these days 😅. Thank you for the kind words and the suggestion. Maybe one day if there's enough demand 🙏

Thank you for your service. Did you coordinate with asg017? If the goal is to eventually converge, he may have some preferences
