Right. A remote object. But the point of local first software is the objects are local. If I edit a note using Apple Notes, I’m not editing a remote object. I’m editing something local - authoritatively local - to my device. The server doesn’t know more than my phone does, and the server doesn’t get to tell my phone that I don’t have permission to edit my own, local stuff. That’s different from interacting with a remote object as a client. Hence, I don’t see turning a remotely controllable light on and off to be local first software because way more like interacting with a server than it is like Apple notes. The server just happens to be harder to route packets to sometimes.
