Heavybit @heavybit.com · 28/01/2025@adamwiggins.bsky.social: "My personal hope is that the biggest impact [of local first] will be the change to the economics of small-scale apps. A local-first app can live longer and at lower cost, and that may enable a whole new class of apps to become feasible." 120
Heavybit @heavybit.com · 28/01/2025#Localfirst is about giving data ownership and agency to end-users while making the #Cloud optional. @adamwiggins.bsky.social @expede.wtf @biilmann.blog @yonz.bsky.social explain why this emerging model for #software #development could change everything. www.heavybit.com/library/arti... 194
