Local-first software has data primarily residing on the client device and synchronizes with a server in the background. Local-first has benefits like instant app responses, offline capabilities, and increased user data control, but also introduces challenges such as conflict resolution and client-side data migrations. Recent advancements like increased browser storage limits, new storage APIs, and WebAssembly are allowing local-first approaches in software to grow.
