aka Local First Software

The term emerged from the article [[Local-first Software Essay]] by [[Ink & Switch]].

[[Martin Kleppmann]]'s definitions:

1. If it is local-only, it isn’t local-first.
2. If it doesn’t work offline, it isn’t local-first.
3. If it doesn’t work if the developer goes out of business, it isn’t local first.
