Dev Agrawal talks about the newfound interest in building 'local first' applications, which is often seen as an outdated paradigm. With Rob Ocel, he discusses how these apps prioritize user devices as the primary data source, allowing for offline access and user control. The conversation highlights the benefits of local-first architecture in creating personalized experiences and seamless synchronization, and the importance of data ownership and Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs) for collaborative environments. They also discuss what meta frameworks are ideal for local-first development, signals, and server components.
