Using Effect Schema to enable interoperable local-first applications - Jess Martin(Local-First Conf)

Speaker: Jess Martin, DXOS
Local-first software can enable cross-application interop. However, enabling users to share data across applications is complex and error-prone. We will show how Effect Schema, a modern approach to managing data types, works with distributed data technologies like DXOS ECHO and Automerge to enable a radically better developer and end-user experience.

contacts and table demo got me excited, you can immediately tell what we as app devs and app users were missing out on all this time. great stuff!

This is great. But I would like to know what happens when you want to enforce certain rules (that you can not express in a wchema) or what if you need a different type than the one for editing (where everything is optional)
