Local-first (https://localfirstweb.dev) is a term that's not really well understood. Even though I have read on CRDTs etc. before, my first thought when I read local-first was that this is a web app that could work without network connection. I think we need a better term for web apps that sync to the cloud in a different fashion.

Some years ago "offline-first" was a thing:

Primarily based on PouchDB/CouchDB. Now the site redirects to RxDB. https://rxdb.info/

There's still a site by that name but it is essentially dead I guess:

Very cool idea, I had a similar idea though not as well/thought out. Would be nice to try it without signing up.

I was able to try it out without signing up (just the 'Great Minds' reactions).

It would be nice to know what it does before having to create an account to test it.

Nothing happens when I tap the buttons. iOS Safari.

if the first thing I get when trying to play with a new service is "log in/create an account" => Instant CTRL-W.

don't have any buy-in to your product yet and you are asking me for upfront time and personal data investment.

I was interested until the homepage referenced AI models and the app asked me to login with a Github or Ethereum account. Also why have you submitted 34 links since 4 days ago?
