The thing about local first syncing options like this is that they mostly do not work on mobile. For example iPhones cannot handle dropbox syncing random text files in the background as a regular filesystem for an app to deal with.
Not saying that's not iPhone's fault, but I doubt any of this works on that platform
- IggleSniggle 2y agoI've been a happy user of a PWA doing local sync. That said, the data it needs to sync can fit in localStorage. Not affiliated in anyway, but the app is http://projectionlab.com/ http://projectionlab.com/ and it allows you to choose between json import/export, localStorage sync, and server-based sync as desired. Since it has an easy to use import/export, sync with some other cloud provider on iOS is basically just a matter of "saving the file," since iOS lets you do background sync of authorized Files providers. Even though it's a web app, being able to download the page and then after run it entirely offline in a fresh browser window each time, built a lot of trust with me, to the point where I mostly run it with localStorage enabled and only occasionally check its online/offline behavior anymore.
