With many people running "home lab" servers and docker accessibility, IMO "local first" can definitely include your own server.

Re: LocalFirst: You Keep Using That Word
#12We just into new year and already we have one of the contenders of HN article of the year. I know HN does not has this ranking but this article is impressive. I agree most of the points in the article except the point according to the article that local-first app must be free and open source. Arguably one of the best app I've been using is the original Napster. At that time TIME magazine did not has the breakthrough…
I was probably 16 or 17 at the time when napster (himself) was hanging out on efnet/irc and working on the program that became Napster. It was wild to see that period play out like it did with a front row seat. That 98ish-2000 and early 2001 era felt like we were on the cusp of so many things with just cool computer technologies that were coming of age. And then 9/11 happened, and everybody's mood soured for quite awhile.
