Horrible. Just because you have code that runs not in a browser doesn't mean you have something that's local. This goes double when the code requires API calls. Your net goes down and this stuff does nothing.
For a web developer local-first only describes where the state of the program lives. In the case of this app that’s in local files. If anthropics api was down you would just use something else. Something like OpenRouter would support model fallbacks out of the box
In a world where IT doesn't mean anything, crypto doesn't mean anything, AI doesn't mean anything, AGI doesn't mean anything, End-to-end encryption doesn't mean anything, why should local-first mean anything? We must unite against the tyranny of distinction.
