I'm getting increasing conviction around the idea of using sync engines instead of APIs for building apps

The idea is simple: 

- apps read and write to a local db or object
- a sync engine keeps this magically synced with server db
- sync is designed to be conflict free (using crdts or similar)

“Simplicity on the far side of complexity”

What you said, consolidate the complexity into the CRDT  sync and then a ton of the surrounding busy work no longer needs to propagate around the code case.

Have had some small wins with this approach & is a pattern I intend to double down on going fwd
