It's amazing to me how we called "box-product" now has a fancy new name "local-first". "Box product" is quite well understood. It has a lot of benefits, but also the business model is harder to get right comparing to cloud services. For opensource projects, that will not be a problem tho.

I'm old enough to have bought software boxes in stores and I've never heard the term "box-product".

We just called them "CDs" and sometimes they didn't even have a box. Those were called "shrink-wrapped CDs" (even though the boxes were usually shrink-wrapped too.)

Lot of young people don't know what a box product is. You're showing your age.

It reminds me of that joke where young people see a floppy disk for the first time and say, "Oh, you 3D printed the save icon!" Might be reality very soon.

How dare people walk around showing their age. Disgusting!
