we just released opbox.dev, which is a fun way to bring real-time sync to directories of plain textfiles (markdown, code, what have you..) on disk youtube.com/watch?v=ewhP...
opbox
opbox is an experimental open-source daemon that syncs directories of plain text files between machines in real time — CRDT merges, any editor, end-to-end encrypted, offline-friendly.

The S2 cloud service is now GA! We also raised a $3.85M seed round led by Accel with participation from Y Combinator, and other funds and angels like @t3.gg @chris.blue @fulmicoton.bsky.social s2.dev/blog/ga
General availability & our seed round
S2 is now GA. Plus, $3.85M in seed funding led by Accel.

@s2.dev can now automatically delete streams where all records have fallen out of retention or it was never written to, based on a configurable time threshold. The option is called "delete-on-empty" and you can set it up on the default stream configuration for your basin from the dashboard or CLI!
Super cool XTDB plugin from @chuck.cassel.dev, which implements the write-ahead log using @s2.dev streams: github.com/chucklehead-...

Had a lot of fun with this 😄 – a multiplayer, "instant re-playable" pseudoterminal that uses @s2.dev streams as a transport instead of SSH: s2.dev/blog/s2-term
@s2.dev now has an MCP server! The entire API is available for tool-use by AI assistants like Claude -- see it in action here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLFk...

You can easily power your next IoT project's data streaming pipeline with S2, and I wrote a blogpost showing exactly how you can do it! s2.dev/blog/iot

First post of the year! @andypavlo.bsky.social got me thinking about why Confluent didn't build WarpStream. My conclusion: legacy infrastructure companies are going to have a tough time against cloud native, AI-enabled, post-ZIRP competitors.
Infrastructure Vendors Are in a Tough Spot
Cloud native, AI-enabled, post-ZIRP companies are the new apex predator.

Wrote a post exploring how replicated databases can be built on top of an @s2.dev stream by using it as a write-ahead log (also shows off the official S2 rust sdk!) s2.dev/blog/kv-store
