Using offline storage is the approach I use in most of my hobby projects. It's simpler, and faster (in developing and in usage) and there are no loading screens.

In my kindle-clippings-manager (https://github.com/karlosos/kindle_clippings_webapp) I import highlights from Kindle and store them in localStorage. The major drawback is a size limitation (10MB). This should not be a problem in most cases but if you need to store more data then indexedDB (with bigger limits but more complexity) can solve the issue.

Linear (https://linear.app/) uses its sync engine to store the data in Web Storage. With optimistic updates, it feels like an offline app. You can read more about the sync engine here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36519448

In what scenarios it would be beneficial to rewrite the Django app in Go? Do you mean something specific when saying that Go would be good replacement?. I/O heavy or computation heavy service?

Could you elaborate more on how you approached testing the applications that use tRPC? I was looking for example big projects that use tRPC but they don't have tests [0]. I am wondering what you mean by testing calls with unit tests. Have you been testing individual endpoints, e.g. `trpc.postst.getAll`, or have you been testing components that use tRPC endpoints? I would appreciate some examples.

I have located the first commit in the bitcoin/bitcoin repo on GitHub [1]. However, there is no single occurrence of "Poker".

In the original-bitcoin repo I've found CPokerLobbyDialogBase class [2]. So I can partially confirm your theory.

According to bitcoin.com in the early stages of the project there was an idea for implementing on-chain poker game [3].

> Bitcoin was simply designed to be an in game currency for a poker game

Could you back this theory with some evidence?
