I really like #DayOne as a journaling app. But the fact that my very sensitive info is out there in a server thousands of miles away and subject to a company's policy makes me nervous.
That's why I prefer to journal in #Obsidian because it is local-first

Doing a little design on a Sunday morning :blobfoxcofe_w_:

Started thinking about what this idea could be called. I came up with "Liminal". It feels good given the "in-between" vibes of using APIs. Here's a little diagram showing how I think it might be used. It's intended to be completely #localFirst. Meaning, developers would run this from a single binary that's built for your architecture. Non-devs should be able to run a desktop app that accomplishes the same thing.

I've just put together a list of the various projects I'm working on, over at https://jade.hopepunk.me/projects/

Of interests to people here might be my current software project, OxBike, which will be a #localfirst app built on #p2panda to manage vehicle sharing.

This new protocol has captured my heart and mind.

Need to do some more thinking and processing, but could it be that this is a small glimmer of light--taking the best components of what blockchains offered (p2p signed transaction chains) without all the grift nonsense--to enable next-gen local-first apps? Gods I hope so.

[they] proposed to keep all that, but with #software that was essentially #cloudless...the result of that [ #localfirst ] effort? Less shitty software.

A few things I wish mastodon and its app ecosystem had:
- #localfirst - I want to be able to do stuff without worrying about data plans and connectivity

Any #web #developer can build secure, #p2p and #localfirst software for any OS, desktop and mobile. right now, using #html, #css, and #javascript.

@alcinnz

There are all kinds of #LocalFirst developments with different GUI approaches. Fascinating.

I still have some tabs open on #BlockSuite who do block-based editing with CRDT's in the mix and rendering to #WebComponents.

https://blocksuite.affine.pro/blocksuite-overview.html

Then having local-first / #CRDT #OctoBase as data engine behind..

https://github.com/toeverything/octobase

To ultimately deliver #Affine an open source alternative to #Notion and #Miro.

Yess! I counted #CRDT under #LocalFirst. Mentioned on this thread is @schickling whose inspiring video's in this regard I watched, and from whose personal site I found Makepad.

Here's an #invidious link to the vid: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=rC4FCS-oMpg

And here's another example app of #Makepad, a synthesizer: https://makepad.nl/makepad/examples/ironfish/src/index.html

Makepad itself is a startup, and I don't know if they're VC-funded and what their plans are.

But the paradigm would entail #LocalFirst apps and hybrid decentralization (federated, #p2p), together with these new #UI approaches that can run anywhere and implemented from any programming language.

Somebody who is not very technical asked me whether what we do in the Fediverse is "#LocalFirst software".

Which is a very catchy name, and sort of related, but of course architecturally different if we go with the Ink & Switch definition: https://www.inkandswitch.com/local-first/

Read this great article about the increasing commodification of data, and the local-first software movement as an organized way of fighting back: https://www.wired.com/story/the-cloud-is-a-prison-can-the-local-first-software-movement-set-us-free/

Very important issue, that echoes a lot of why ppl w/ privacy concerns, who hate the increasing corporate capture of the web, etc. prefer Mastodon over corporate-social-platform-of-the-month. If you're a dev, CRDT is praxis! #localfirst #p2p #openinternet #decentralization

@gobborg or build #localfirst and #p2p apps with https://github.com/socketsupply/socket :)

The Cloud Is a Prison. Can the Local-First Software Movement Set Us Free? | WIRED https://www.wired.com/story/the-cloud-is-a-prison-can-the-local-first-software-movement-set-us-free #cloud #souveraineté_numérique #numérique #localfirst #à_traduire #1st_revue #0_archivebox #2nd_frm #99th_revue

Remember: there is no cloud. There is just someone else’s computer.

Following Gregory Barber’s recent article in Wired, Cory Doctorow on “local first” computing:

“The finance sector loves The Cloud. Add ‘The Cloud’ to a product and profits (money you get for selling something) can turn into rents (money you get for owning something). Profits can be eroded by competition, but rents are evergreen.”

Nagyon tolnám az LLM-et az otthoni cuccokon, egyszerűen nincs elég erős vas hozzá. A 2015-ös MacBook Pro labdába se rúg, a Turing PI 2-es alapokon nyugvó cluster meg még nem elég jó. A jó hír, hogy a TPI2-es közösség egyik tagja hamarosan megosztja a megoldását. #machinelearning #llm #localfirst #turingpi

There's a name for this model: it's called #LocalFirst computing, which is computing that starts from the presumption that the user and their device is the most important element of the system. Networked servers are dumb pipes and dumb storage, a nice-to-have that fails gracefully when it's not available.
