Wow!
Deciding to quit a great job to focus full-time on open source development, has been one of the craziest, scariest decisions I've ever made.
Today is actually my last day in the office, and I've locked myself away in a quiet room to write these lines (and hyperventilate with excitement).
My goal with UpUp, like my other open source work, has been to make using cutting-edge web technologies easy and approachable for all developers. I hope I've succeeded, and I hope you'll share with me how you've used it.
Thank you for writing about UpUp. I couldn't ask for a nicer gift as I embark on this adventure, or a better way to tell my new wife I'm not crazy after all!
@arturkiulian It actually uses a brand new caching API (with a fallback for older browsers) to manage the cache, and the new ServiceWorkers APIs to capture connection errors and serve cached results instead.
@arturkiulian I learned about Service Workers from an awesome Google I/O talk I attended last year by Alex Russell and Jake Archibald.
They did a lot of awesome work. UpUp is just a way to make it all accessible to all developers in an approachable way, while I take care of all the technical headaches.
@talater Big thanks for this, it's fantastic. Curious what the new caching API called though? I'm only familiar with local storage, indexedDB, and application cache.
@fredrivett My wife has asked me to reply to your question ASAP :)
The plan is to develop free open source products that solve the problem for a large number of users, while offering paid enterprise versions for those who need special features and long term support.
Mike Perham, creator of sidekiq has been a huge inspiration for this.
The specifics of the plan are still a work in progress.
