It's fascinating how much the right framing can change things

I've been advocating for opensource, local-first, privacy-preserving, decentralized apps for years.

But once I called them aligned apps, it instantly resonated. Words really do matter.

Everyone wants to know more about them now.

What do you say they're aligned with?

I'm also interested in why 'local first' :)

I like Modular Synthesiser, MiniGrids, and Go (Baduk).

They're aligned with you. Your values, your interests, your control over your data and tools. Not something "rented to you" and controlling all your dta.

And local-first means your data lives with you, not on some server you don't control. It’s about trust, speed, and resilience.

I like this phrasing/framing...im gonna steal it :D
