Local-First Architecture

Exploring offline-capable, sync-enabled apps

·1 min read·in-progress

Building apps that work offline and sync when connected.

The Hypothesis

Users shouldn't have to think about connectivity. The app should just work—always.

Current Approach

Using CRDTs for conflict resolution and IndexedDB for local storage. Sync happens in the background through a simple WebSocket connection.

Early results are promising. Latency feels instant because writes go to local storage first.
