atproto has the potential to become a rock-solid replacement for the most fragile part of any local-first app: the sync server.

Homomorphic encryption allows a computer to run programs on encrypted data. Learn how homomorphic encryption works through interactive examples, build a homomorphically encrypted CRDT and see whether it has promise for local-first software.

How I built a local-first app for planning trips, and what I learned about the current state of the local-first ecosystem along the way.

A one-dimensional spectrum can't sufficiently capture the tradeoffs involved in web development.
