Notion redefined how teams collaborate. At Sync Conf 2025, Angelique Nehmzow will reveal the sync engine behind @NotionHQ's offline-first, multi-user experience, and why it’s been key to their success.
Tanner Linsley ( @tannerlinsley ), creator of @tan_stack , is bringing his vision for app dev to Sync Conf 2025. From TanStack DB to mainstream DX, he’ll share where sync belongs in the next wave of software.
Figma's realtime sync tech includes LiveGraph, a GraphQL-like data layer powering everything from comments to design file metadata. @arushibandi from the @figma engineering team will take you through the details of LiveGraph and the challenges of an IPO-scale product.
I'd be stunned if some version of sync/reactivity doesn't end up the dominant paradigm for building stateful apps. Data and collaboration aren't getting less important. Looking forward to Sync Conf!
