Saw that Fastmail released offline support recently, nice work!

Do you not have any need for CRDT?

No, CRDTs wouldn’t be useful right for what we currently do. If we ever wanted collaborative text editing for something then we’d use them for sure.

Fair enough, not needing CRDTs makes life a lot easier!

And by the way, we didn't opt for an in-house IndexedDB solution because we have targets in which IndexedDB does not exist (mobile, desktop).

How do you handle offline-first in your mobile apps? Are your mobile apps webviews?
