It’s looking like countries with better worker protections saw zero layoffs.

It’s worse. Max I’m seeing is 9 weeks.

Simperium Server: https://github.com/beaucollins/node-simperium-server It's in the proof-of-concept stage so it doesn't persist the data on the server.

Simplenote does this.

These are exactly the features Simperium provides.

The API is "open", the source code for the server running the simperium.com syncing service is not.

As far as I know, open sourcing the server is something Simperium wishes to do when it's feasible.

What exactly do you mean by offline mode? No syncing to "the cloud" at all?
Re:Automattic open sources Simplenote on Thursday August 11, 2016 @01:44PM (#12270264)
Simplenote is built on top of Simperium.

In fact, Simperium was originally created to provide the syncing features of Simplenote and then generalized to work as a service for anyone who wants to sync structured data.

I have implemented most of the Simperium server protocol in the `node-simperium` library (https://github.com/Simperium/node-simperium/pull/22).

It's definitely a very rough work in progress but I have used it successfully to deploy my own simplenote server that works with all the clients.

Simperium Server: https://github.com/beaucollins/node-simperium-server

It's in the proof-of-concept stage so it doesn't persist the data on the server.

One workaround that was functional but subpar experience-wise:

Put a transparent UIView over the status bar and wire it up to call a javascript function on your UIWebView using stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString.

I have tried many a workaround, all quickly reveal a pretty crappy non-native experience.

-webkit-overflow-scrolling:touch disables the feature where tapping the phone's status bar scrolls content back to the top. That has been a showstopper for most of the things I have worked on.

Since when were vertical scrollbars bad?
