If you spend effort being local-first, you can’t spend that on features or UX. You have a disadvantage vs. competitors who focus solely on the latter.

- vkou 1y agoIs local-first local-only actually harder to build and secure than a four-nines uptime service? I understand that it's less profitable, which is the real reason nobody does it.
- cadamsdotcom 1y agoBuilding and securing local first is definitely harder than four-nines. Want 99.99% uptime? Easy. Cloudflare, AWS, fly.io, Vercel etc. have poured decades of person-years of engineering into platform reliability and operational excellence so you can get it with a few quick CLI commands.
- vkou 1y agoJust because the infra you built on top of is 99.99% uptime doesn't mean that your application is.
