The Movement

There is a big movement going on in the Local First circles to give users greater control over their data, greater performance and resilience. They want to do this by building applications that need less access to external servers and even the network at times.

One of the major breakthroughs in recent years which is making this goal more accessible to a lot of applications is the ability to use the power of well established databases within the Browser. Wayback, we saw WebSQL appear in browsers but never gained traction because of licensing and compatibility across all browsers. This was a real shame.
