You can build applications with a local-first focus. In this case study, we dig into how you might use WASM to run Whisper.cpp for Speech-to-text and also use WASM to host a local SQLite database. The only reason we need a network connection at all for this application is to get the initial JS payload and to download the Whisper models from a remote store since they can get quite large.

ASTs are prevalent in everything we do. ESLint, Typescript, etc allow us to dive into our source code in a way we might not be familiar with. Let's take a look at how some modern tools use ASTs to improve our lives as developers. Some of the tools to be covered include: TS-Morph, Typescript, TreeSitter, and ESlint. Depending on time, I can dig into various tools and patterns for working with ASTs and how they can fit into any modern developer workflow.
