> I think local-first is the future. This is where the apps runs mostly within user's browser with little to no help from the server. Apps like Figma, Linear and Superhuman use this model very successfully. The problem is: Figma and Linear are not local-first in the way people who are local-first proponents explain local-first. Both of them require a centralized server, that those companies run, for synchronization. This is not what people mean when they talk about "local-first" being the future, they are talking about what Martin Kleppman defined it as, which is no specialized synchronization software required.
