Apps that aren’t “local first” don’t work on the NYC subway for example, which is prime paper reading/thinking time for me. Send a text on the subway? Text gets stuck at “delivering…” and times out minutes later after you forget it. Read a paper from Paperpile on the subway? You can’t download it. Post to Slack on the subway? Message appears to be sent with no feedback but then retroactively disappears from your history when you get to work. Local first apps like Things, Apple Notes, Anki, and Muse are awesome for long commutes.
