Backend-as-a-Service platforms promise simplicity, but often lock developers into complex APIs authorization rules. What if your frontend could directly manage data, authorization, and collaboration - without domain-specific backend code?

In this talk, Oliver shares how he built a triplestore-based BaaS to power real-time collaboration in his side project MonsterWriter, and how the approach grew into an independent open-source project. We’ll see how LinkedRecords.com enables fine-grained authorization, simplifies real-time collaboration, and supports a Bring Your Own Backend model that gives organizations more control over their data and vendor relationships. It is also shown how global state management becomes a lot easier in React apps.

React Query has become the standard for server side state management in React applications, however, certain apps still require a lot of client side state. For such apps, there are a lot of great options to handle client side state out there and React Query is not meant to replace any of them. Mobx is one of them and even though it has been out for a while, it has stood the test of time and it is still very powerful.

What if we can combine the power of React Query for server state while keeping the amazing ergonomics and fine-grained reactivity of Mobx for client state?

Meet Mobx Query, a React Query adapter for Mobx that makes this possibility a reality.

Zero is a new library for Local-first development that automatically replicates a subset of your Postgres database in your browser.

Zero is an excellent fit for Svelte. If I had to say in one line why Svelte feels magical, it's that there is no trade-off between developer experience and user experience - it makes it easier to write better software. Using Svelte, some problems just disappear entirely, and we are given tools to make other problems much easier to tackle. Zero extends this magic. Delays waiting for page loaders and form submissions disappear, and pages update instantly in response to changes made by other users. Zero is currently in Alpha but already in a state where it's quicker to build a feature with Zero than with regular Svelte loaders and actions.

In this talk I'll go over how to set up Zero, what it can do for you, how it compares to alternatives, why it's such a good fit for Svelte, and why I think that this is the first usable product in a new category that will change the way we write a lot of software.
