The past, present, and future of local-first - Martin Kleppmann (Local-First Conf)

Martin Kleppmann reviews the evolution of local-first software and argues for the necessity of standardized, generic sync protocols.

Speaker: Martin Kleppmann, University of Cambridge, Inc & Switch We have come a long way since my colleagues and I published the local-first essay five years ago. In this talk I'll review where the local-first idea came from, where we are now, and what I hope the local-first community can work towards in the future. --- Learn from engineers, designers, academics, startups, and indie developers who are putting local-first into practice and reaping the benefits of a cloud-optional architecture.
