An interesting new collaborative software architecture: local-first
Traditional web apps think of the server as the primary system of record.
local-first software empowers collaboration and offline usage by storing data locally and syncing when possible.
Benefits:
✅ Simpler architecture
✅ Less translating between layers
✅ Self-contained UI
✅ Works offline
✅ Network speed doesn't impact UX
✅ Data sync can use end-to-end-encryption
✅ User owns their data
Here's the full talk. Quite compelling.
