I built a small tool with offline-first-opensource — code is open, feedback welcome

It took me two weeks of on-and-off digging and plenty of wrong turns. Writing the process down as it happened so the next person spends less time.

The first thing was to collapse the variables. We were changing config and upgrading the version at the same time, and afterwards nobody could say which change caused what. We rolled back to moving one variable at a time, re-ran three times, and only then did the curve settle. Tedious, but not skippable.

We have run this in production for two years without hitting it. That said, we never reached this scale, so our experience is not really evidence here.

One counter-example: below offline-first-opensource 7.4 the semantics of that code are different, so do not copy it verbatim. We got burned in staging and rolled back once.

This is the post detail page /en/c/offline-first-opensource/post/p8. Posts and comments are generated deterministically from a seeded PRNG, so the same post always renders the same content and the link can be shared, reloaded and indexed. In production this page reads MySQL for the post, Redis for hot-post caching, and fetches the whole comment tree in a single query on the path column.
