We released SQLiteUndo, built on @pointfreeco's incredible SQLiteData.
Consistent undo is a huge part of a great Mac experience, and since @aphera leans heavily on SQLite for storage and observation we wanted undo to *just work*

To put a finer point on it, I really don't know if @aphera would exist in its current form, and at least wouldn't work as well as it does without @pointfreeco SQLiteData.
A fun side effect of integrating undo at the db level is we moved things like selection and navigation to the db as well. That allowed us to fully connect editing operations and view state in one unified model, a big part of a making the whole app feel like a single stack that you can move through and undo.
Props to apps that pull this off, we took a lot of inspiration from Linear's navigation and undo model.
