Build-alongs, start to finish

Complete systems built one part at a time — the architecture decisions included, not just the happy path.

Build a POS that survives the internet

5 parts

A five-part build-along: a point-of-sale system that keeps selling when the connection drops, reconciles stock across tills without conflicts, and is honest about which payments can be verified offline.

  2. 2. Offline-first POS, part 2: never store a stock level
  3. 3. Offline-first POS, part 3: selling with the router unplugged
  4. 4. Offline-first POS, part 4: idempotent sync and the last-item problem
