A small boilerplate app to get prototyping building local-first/multiplayer apps with Replicache and Remix.
This is built following the steps from: https://doc.replicache.dev/byob/intro but adapted for Remix/Drizzle. You can follow along there and reference this code to understand the steps to building it.
We're jumping on the next availble local-first train to funsville! Read more about local first applications here: https://localfirstweb.dev/
This boiler plate is a local-first chat application where you can have low-latency chat with automatic syncing in the background. Data is primarily stored in the browser and synced using things called CRDT's (via replicache) to a postgres database.
- You'll need docker installed on your system
- Pull the docker postgres image
docker pull postgres - Run the postgres db in a container
docker run --name replimix-db -e POSTGRES_USER=docker -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=docker -e POSTGRES_DB=postgres -p 5432:5432 -d postgres - Update your .env DATABASE_URL to point to your running db, see the example.
- Apply the db migrations to your postgres db
npx drizzle-kit migrate
After your db is set up, you can run the Vite dev server:
npm run dev
You can access your localhost:5173 instance in multiple browsers/tabs/computers and watch changes get push/pulled in realtime 🥳
