I’ve been trying to figure out how Roam Research (https://roamresearch.com/) sends data back and forth from and to the server.<p>The app seems very responsive, and when I add/omit/edit objects, there’s nothing under the Network tab in Chrome’s dev tools.<p>How is RR doing this? I noticed IndexedDB instances but deleting them didn’t seem to affect anything.
They're using websockets I believe.<p>Look in the network tab for .ws (hosted on Firebase). You can inspect the messages using Chrome. It sends updates for every change to a block you make.
