it has the same behavior as publish that doesn't take a function except it's calling connect() and managing the subscription upstream automatically

Hi Jake, could you please tell if using a publish operator is really required in this case? This is what you showed in your talk about managing state. This is the only part I’m missing to have my understanding complete.

In what case? It's necessary when you only want a single subscription to the upstream

In this case, if you remember it, it was a while ago. I took a Screenshot from your talk. In my prototype nothing really changes if I use only merge without publish within ObservableTransformer. I'm concerned I'm missing some subtle difference.

nevermind, I figured it out finally! 🙂
