Local First – Collaboration Beyond Cloud
For years, we’ve defaulted to centralised servers and, more recently, leaned heavily on server-side components to power our web apps. But this dependence has a cost: apps that break without constant internet connectivity, sluggish performance under heavy load, and user frustration when things don’t just work.

This talk challenges the cloud-first status quo and invites developers to explore the power of **local-first**. Imagine building multiplayer, collaborative experiences that thrive offline, sync smoothly when online, and harness the value of localised state. We’ll also tackle the complexities of conflict resolution when shifting from a centralised authority to a sync server as a lightweight mediator. It’s time to rethink collaboration.
