@inkandswitch.comReposted by @localfirstconf.comHere it is—the final talk from our @localfirstconf.com Lab Day!
After 10 years of Ink & Switch, Peter van Hardenberg @pvh.ca takes the long view. Why do we do research? Who does it serve? And what now, as the world gets weirder?
@jprider63.bsky.socialReposted by @localfirstconf.comThe second Local-First DC meetup is in two weeks (Oct 7)! This time we'll have a few slots for demos. If you're interested in giving a demo, reach out to @shupp.dev or myself. luma.com/gkmwov4w
@theocharis.devReposted by @localfirstconf.comAs a follow up to the @localfirstconf.com we are doing a unofficial local-first meetup in Cologne on the 15th of October. Maybe this can be a regular event where we can exchange knowledge? The two talks are to get the conversations started. If you are interested in joining, feel free to contact me.

@localfirstconf.comSeph Gentle is a prolific software researcher behind projects including the eg-walker paper and ShareJS, one of the oldest local-first open source projects. He worked on Google Wave back in 2010, then built ShareDB — the first realtime collaborative database built on top of Operational Transform.
@localfirstconf.com" Using these new technologies to make the world more local-first, especially maybe parts that have been resistant to that. Breaking down data silos is one of the biggest ones that's been such a long running topic at Ink & Switch with projects like Cambria." @adamwiggins.com
@localfirstconf.com"The story of computing is one of taking these computing things that are originally are heavy and slow and require a room size computer and making them smaller and cheaper and faster. And that just opens up all kinds of new use cases." @adamwiggins.com
@localfirstconf.comWith two weeks left in the Local-First Conf CFP window, you might be wondering who judges the submissions.
Pleased to announce this year’s committee: @adamwiggins.com, @geoffreylitt.com, @schickling.dev, and @bumble.blue
This group has serious credentials. Details in the thread 👇
@localfirstconf.com"Am I empowering my users to take their data and go to where they need to go when the time comes for that?" @adamwiggins.com
@localfirstconf.com"I think local-first is still the guiding light for us. It's kinda like the gold standard for what software should feel like, what software should be architected around." @schickling.dev
