015 - James Long on ActualBudget


Listen Later

Rafael is Joined by James Long to talk about ActualBudget, a "privacy focused" personal finance application with some unique technical characteristics. They talk about some of the benefits of offline-first applications from a product perspective, and some of the interesting and unexpected things about developing an application that diverges from the standard Server-Client SaaS model. They also go deep into the weeds to talk about absurd-sql, a project where sqlite is implemented using indexedDB instead of the filesystem as a persistence layer.
