Comment on Ditto: Real-time sync for apps even without the internet

Comments

Good thing that it supports any authentication provider. Less good that it still needs a roundtrip to Ditto's servers to enroll each device after authentication.

Alternatively, for "truly" offline sync, a "license" token must still be obtained from Ditto's servers at some initial deployment phase.

Really cool library, but the dependency on Ditto's infrastructure is an itch to scratch.

You hit the nail on the head. We are working on this as a major initiative to solve the problem you detailed. As you can guess the truly decentralized authentication is quite new and we are releasing some features to get us less reliant on online services for connectivity.
