After 4 years of work, I'm incredibly excited to introduce LiveStore, the next-gen data layer I'm building for Overtone.

It's based on reactive SQLite and has a built-in sync engine. Give it a try - would love your feedback!

It should be easy to add Notion-like collaborative text editing.

This is why we've just released first-party support for BlockNote, enabling:

• Fully-hosted collaborative block-based editing
• Real-time comments and notifications
• Offline support, multiple editors, and more

Get started with block-based collaborative editing in minutes. Our new first-party plugin for BlockNote has built-in commenting, notifications, mentions, and offline support. We've also built a Notion-style demo in our starter kit.

"Dutch parliament calls for end to dependence on US software companies": www.reuters.com/world/europe.... It's been an honor to work with 🇩🇪 and 🇫🇷 on this, but even better to see digital autonomy taken seriously in my home country.

Dutch parliament calls for end to reliance on US software
The Netherlands' parliament on Tuesday approved a series of motions calling on the government to reduce dependence on U.S. software companies, including by creating a cloud services platform that is under Dutch control.

This is absurdly great, but I haven't read a single news article about it. A fully open source, offline-first alternative to Notion that's a collab between the French and German governments because they want to host docs securely and on their own terms. THIS is what Europe should be doing.

Excited to announce that I'm leaving Tiptap, I will be joining BlockNote at the beginning of the month.

It's been less than a year, but I'm in a good place to take some risk and try starting up a company.

Given that I'm leaving, I thought it'd fun to share the things I built while at Tiptap. So 🧵

On our way to @fosdem.bsky.social. Will be giving a talk on how we're collaborating @ BlockNotejs.org with EU governments to build a sovereign digital workplace: fosdem.org/2025/schedul.... Who else is going?

Think gov tech is boring? Working on Open Source solutions for Digital Autonomy for your own country is pretty exciting 🙌 Back from Berlin where the CIOs of 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 🇳🇱 decided to keep working together on tech sovereignty through open source software. Exciting to be a small part of this with BlockNote!
