Episode notes
Local-First Architecture
- Local-first apps shift state management from the backend to the client, enabling offline functionality and real-time collaboration.
- This approach simplifies state sharing by distributing it among users, similar to Git, and utilizes CRDTs for conflict resolution.
Local-First Use Cases
- Real-time multiplayer functionality, like Google Docs, is an extreme use case for local-first architecture.
- Local-first apps can range from highly interactive to completely offline, offering a unified development approach for diverse applications.
Linear's Local-First Implementation
- Linear, a project management app, uses local-first technology, storing team issues locally on each device.
- This approach improves UX and allows for efficient brute-force searching due to reduced reliance on server-side databases.
