This is a very cool talk. If you're at all involved in making apps regardless of ecosystem... it's a must watch!

My favourite quote:

"I was promised a bicycle for the mind. Where is it?"

Would you rather pay for a straightforward tool that runs locally, or use a "free" cooking app that monetizes your habits and inventory?

Building Kitchen Concordance on the belief that cookbook collections belong on-device, not in the cloud.

I built Kitchen Concordance for cookbooks, but as a longtime homebrewer, I pointed it at my brewing shelf.

Now I can search hop profiles and grain bills across physical pages.

Bonus Galaxy Kettle Sour pic.

Testing starts next week: kitchenconcordance.com

Finding dinner on your physical cookbook shelf shouldn't require trading your habits to a cloud server.

Building Kitchen Concordance: paid software, not an ad network. The app runs local-first, keeping your bookshelf data strictly yours.

Follow along here as it comes together.

As of tonight I don't have a price tag.

No accounts, no plans, no credits — every feature for everyone, on your own API keys or a local model through Ollama or LM Studio. You pay your provider directly; nobody sits in the middle.

Keep supported works from DLsite, itch.io and BOOTH in one local library.
DLM Desktop 1.3.12 pauses browser-based downloads; local organization and viewing still work. Coverage varies by delivery mode.

When I started building BankToExcel, the biggest pain I kept hearing was manually retyping bank statement PDFs for reconciliation. A simple in-browser converter that keeps files local and exports clean CSV cuts that down to minutes. #bookkeeping #localfirst

How do you sync data between your own devices, using the cloud, but retain data sovereignty?

I think I have a solution with Hammer's built-in syncing protocol.

Mesavolt ⚡️ is a #LocalFirst project management app.

Now it's possible to change the style of cards per board as well and sync with other team members.

This enables the creation of boards that are more image focused and not so much to keep track of a task.

I've been posting a coding agent for three weeks. True, but incomplete. One memory: the file you're scared of, Thursday's plan, the paper you couldn't get through. Same store, on your machine. A tool that knows your repo and nothing else is an assistant to a job, not a life. #localfirst

spent a couple of days setting up the @powersync.com service (self-hosted) in a React app with a PostgreSQL database backend. Not straightforward, but THIS IS FAST!
