The Jump to Hyperspace: Local-first Software
summary
Argues that replacing heavyweight server-centric stacks with client-first architectures cuts latency and ops cost, cites decades of lamp-style thinking and Automerge CRDTs for conflict-free replication, describes capability-based write control and crypt tree key ratcheting for read/write access, proposes moving auth to the data layer so tokens travel with encrypted blobs instead of hitting a central OA uth server, shows portable compute as WebAssembly tasks with signed receipts, and estimates thousands–tens of thousands of real-world LoFi apps today.
