Just refactored Bloompy’s data layer to a hybrid Local-First model.
We use Firestore for global state streaks/XP but keep all PII (task titles) on-device using AsyncStorage. By mapping persistent UUIDs in the cloud to local strings, we get the best of both worlds: Your garden is your own business.

Privacy in tech is becoming more important than ever. We don’t want apps that harvest our data and spy on us.

Helpful perspective from @harrymccracken.com
This week’s Plugged In newsletter: I asked Claude Opus 4.6 to critique that viral blog post about AI, and was startled by how perceptive it was. www.fastcompany.com/91491419/mat...
AI is still both more and less amazing than we think, and that’s a problem - Fast Company
Somehow, people have trouble acknowledging that a technology can be simultaneously incredible and flawed.
