Dearly lacking discourse in local-first... the prerequisites for "data ownership" is it must be freely addressable (e.g. via the file system) and one must be able to adversarially do things with it (e.g. open/ubiquitous formats).
Having data in indexeddb is no more "owned" than having it in an http cache. Both are on your hard drive. Both are obscure formats you can't and won't do anything with. Data ownership requires using open formats. Almost no one doing local-first is even trying to do that.

It’s completely mind boggling to me to see HP, xerox PARC, NeXt inc, tesla and vmware are all basically in the same city block.

If you build any kind of ios app please learn about state caching and build a routing architecture similar to a web page. There is no excuse your users have to recover what they were doing every time your app was 10 seconds in the background. 🤢

I guess we needed to counter "fediverse" with "atmosphere" for some reason? I will just say "on atproto", its even shorter, or is there a technical difference?

@tangled.org could have its moment soon, as ai slop PRs will only be manageable with a real social trust layer and review tools made for this reality. Github and Gitlab will be too slow to react if at all.
