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:
