Why Local-First Architecture is the future of web platforms.

Why Local-First Architecture is the future of web platforms.
The cloud should be optional, not a bottleneck. Let’s break it down.

**What is Local-First?**

Instead of relying on constant server calls, your app runs directly on the user’s device.
\- Data is stored locally.
\- Changes sync in the background.
\- The app works offline → feels instant.

**Benefits of Local-First:**

\- Blazing fast performance (no waiting on servers)
\- Offline-first → always available
\- Users own their data, not just “rent it” from the cloud
\- Scales better: servers sync, not serve every click

**Challenges of Local-First:**

\- Conflict resolution when syncing data
\- More complex architecture to design
\- Larger app bundles (since logic lives on the client)

But the trade-offs are worth it .
The future is local.
