Simplifying Web App Development

The podcast episode explores the idea of simplifying the process of building web apps by leveraging the power of databases and the local first architecture. The speaker poses the question of whether it is possible to create an app that is fast, responsive, and easy to develop using these approaches. The goal is to cut through the complexity of modern web app development, making it simpler and more efficient. This involves expressing an app as a query, implementing fast synchronous reactivity, and unifying different types of state and app data in a single system.
