Local-First Web Development With the Help of WebAssembly
In this talk, you’ll learn what the difference is between Local-first and Offline-first and why you may want to choose local-first instead of the traditional web development model. We'll dig into how WebAssembly can help as we create a simple web application that uses Postgres in the browser via PGLite. For the data sync with the server, we'll use ElectricSQL.
