Had my Core Data sync framework, Ensembles (https://ensembles.io), pretty much in maintenance mode. With Apple moving on to SwiftData, didn't seem any point to modernizing the 15 year old ObjC codebase. But I had the thought to give Claude a shot at it, and in 2 days I've got a complete port: Swift 6, structured concurrency instead of OperationQueue. Even adding a bunch of new backends (Box, pCloud, S3). Will make it available as Ensembles 3 to subscribers soon.

Ensembles is a sync framework for Core Data apps. Works with iCloud, Dropbox, and any backend you choose.

@drewmccormack amazing! Been using for years. Rock solid.
Next ask Claude to fix the SwiftPackage setup

@massimobiolcati E3 is just SPM, so I assume that is good. No legacy.

@drewmccormack excellent! For me E2 only worked with SPM when pulling from the master branch, not a specific a version, and that breaks caching. We had some back and forth on this a few years ago but were not able to resolve it. Looking forward to E3.

@massimobiolcati Getting it to work with ObjC and resources was a challenge, certainly in the beginning. I think E3 will be much more vanilla, so shouldn't be problems. Touch wood.
