Deep dives
Introduction to Local First
Local First is a novel approach in software architecture that shifts the paradigm from traditional client-server models to a framework where much of the application state is stored locally on the client. This implies that the user’s device maintains autonomy over the application state, facilitating offline usage and interaction without constant dependency on a centralized backend. The key concept here is that the state initially exists locally, and syncing occurs with other clients or the cloud when a connection is available, making real-time collaboration both feasible and efficient. This model aims to enhance user experience by ensuring that applications remain responsive even under poor network conditions.
