Local-first app development
summary
A local‑first music app is built over two years to keep everything persistent, reactive and transactional, using Riffle as the React→DB glue and embedded SKDB (WASM native) as a fast on‑device store. Queries run as synchronous reactive SQL, removing loading states and delivering playlist and UI updates in the next frame in demos. A to‑do demo shows instant filters and consistent state with transactional updates; the stack works in prototypes but isn’t yet public.
