René, I listen to your shows every week. I must say I had trouble being convinced that at the very beginning of today's Debug's show it is you talking, introducing the roundtable guests. I guess you had to keep quiet, given the really early post (07h31) for the show. However, at minute 7 of the audio feed, yes I am totally convinced it is you.

I'm in New York and had to record mobile with a different mic and setup. Sounded weird to me too.

Great Debug show!

I guess I will give this a listen this weekend.

I'm curious to know if they have tried using this library for auto-syncing across devices: https://github.com/nothirst/TICoreDataSync
