WHY LOCAL-FIRST APPS HAVEN'T BECOME POPULAR?

Very few apps get offline support right because syncing is hard. Building a local-first app means effectively creating a distributed system where multiple devices can mutate data independently, sometimes offline, while still converging to the exact same state without losing data. This involves solving the challenges of unreliable ordering and conflicts. SQLite is a battle-tested, lightweight, and readily available solution for local-first apps that guarantees convergence across devices, regardless of the sync order.

CLOUDFLARE'S 2025 ANNUAL FOUNDERS' LETTER

Cloudflare launched in 2010 when less than 20% of the Internet was encrypted - today, well over 95% is encrypted, thanks in part to its efforts. The basic business model of the Internet for the past 15 years has been the same: create compelling content, find a way to be discovered, then generate value from the resulting traffic. There's always been a reward system that transferred value from consumers to creators. Ads were previously the only micropayment system that worked at scale to encourage an open Internet while also compensating content creators for their work, but change is being driven by AI. This article looks at how Cloudflare plans to navigate this change and what the new Internet business model will look like.
