I feel like we’re on the verge of seeing the start of a whole new wave of local-first apps (and "personal software" as mentioned here https://x.com/rauchg/status/1840293374059839726), but we’re really missing Rails-like frameworks that offer a complete package for development. Something that gives you all the tools you need—from syncing, conflict resolution, state management, authorization, background jobs in the context of local-first to deployment—without having to reinvent the wheel.

I built a simple SaaS [1] to get a sense of what's missing and while React Router + a syncing local first database [2] + $5/month Cloudflare gets you pretty far, I still found myself needing to think through a lot of pieces

This sounds so fantastic. Thanks for sharing. I wonder how well it'll be able to incorporate into existing apps vs making new ones from scratch. I've been using Splitt.app a lot lately while traveling and it drives me nuts that it doesn't have better offline/low data support. I'd like to improve it but haven't dug into the site yet to see what it would take.

This seems to be a local cache, not a local-first data store?
