Did you know you can download devhelp packages from our API browsing website valadoc.org and have them all locally and usable with the Devhelp app? Sadly Devhelp is not much developed anymore (it used to be the primary offline docs app for #GNOME) but hopefully we get at some point a modern solution again! Until then, use devhelp, it might look old, but still works perfect!
#localfirst

For anyone in #ottawa that's interested in #LocalFirst tech or #LLM / #AI tech, I'll be presenting about how user agents can enable web applications to do AI stuff while leaving control over the model and data to users. I'll be demoing how we do it in @agregore with an example app that generates web apps using your local LLM and publishes to #Hypercore

Offline-First has been a rollercoaster since we coined the term in 2013. It didn’t take on the way we imagined (although it is heaving a second wave as local-first at the moment).

Professionally, it has never been a big money maker, but hell if it didn’t provide us with the most interesting and rewarding projects that we can proud of for the rest of our lives. 💖💖💖

@slightlyoff @zkat @tojiro this is all great advice.

For the editor side check out #localfirst localfirstweb.dev/ for a good breakdown of your options for sync and storage that can let you focus more on the app than the technical details of robust sync services

For the viewer side I would recommend focusing on the load of those view pages, and then level it up to a PWA after for offline cache, assuming new users don't have the PWA SW cache for first view is key here to a great experience!

localfirstweb.devLocal-First SoftwareA fresh way to think about building web applications.

Wouldn't the combination of #LocalFirst with #WebAssembly and a minimalist #browser implementation, i.e. supporting a good-enough #HTML and #CSS subset, give us:

- An end to the dominance of the #Cloud?

- An end to the sick browser oligopoly?

Then for our widespread local-first paradigm we'd only need that standardized sync protocol.
