> I believe the lack of popularity is more of an economics problem. It's also a programming complexity problem. A local-first app has to run on a zillion different configurations of hardware. A cloud-first app only has to run on a single configuration and the thing running on the user hardware is just a view into that singular cloud representation. | ||

This is really not that much of a problem, most hardware differences are either irrelevant or easily abstracted away (if that isn't already done by the OS). | ||

It's not easy, but if the money flowed that way devs would figure stuff out. As is, devs who may have an interest in working on it will simply be rejected. | ||
