There have been 3 submissions of a paper about "Local-First" apps (https://www.inkandswitch.com/local-first.html <https://www.inkandswitch.com/local-first.html>) to Hacker News in the past week. Twice it made it to the front page and the most recent was there most all day and was still on the 2nd page the next morning.
The paper mentions and discusses CouchDB but I think it drifts quickly from the subject of "Local-First” apps to conflict resolution and overlooked using CouchDB as a data storage layer for Local-First apps. I thought it’s worth mentioning here because CouchDB makes it easy for both devs and users to create and install a Local-First app. A couple months ago I made a very simple demo app that demonstrates one way to do that. I posted a link to it in the comments on those HN posts and it seemed to generate a little interest so I thought I’d share it here too... https://cherrypc.com/app/editor/setup.html <https://cherrypc.com/app/editor/setup.html> -- Bill Stephenson
