Irakli and Chris (independent researchers) will show us reactive UIs via declarative Datalog rules and sync through commodity blob stores like S3.
Irakli and Chris' research perspective should make a nice constrast to the commercial focus for the rest of the conf.

Brendan (number0 / Iroh) will show us the possibility of internet-optional sync using device-to-device connections.
True peer-to-peer networking has remained elusive but they claim to have cracked it with their now widely-deployed Rust library.
