What is Local-first Web Development?

July 10, 2026 09:00 โ€“ 09:30 ยท 30 min Stage 5

What this session covers

Users expect apps that work everywhere, even without internet. In this session you learn how to build local first applications with Vue 3 and Dexie.js that store data on the device, work offline by default, and sync when connectivity returns. You walk through the architecture decisions that make local first possible, implement reactive IndexedDB queries, and handle the tricky parts like conflict resolution and data migrations. By the end you have a mental model for building apps that put users in control of their data and never show a loading spinner again.
