A key principle of local-first is building technology that gives users agency. At Habitat, we believe this cannot be achieved without data agency, which encompasses all of data access, sovereignty, and legibility. We are building a platform to give communities and organizations data agency, built upon AT Protocol. This talk explores each aspect above through case studies and examples from our earliest users.
Local-first aims to empower users. But it also does something more systemic: it improves systems' resilience against things going wrong. In a world where geopolitical tensions are increasing and long-standing certainties are upended, decentralisation and resilience become increasingly important. This talk explores why local-first software is moving from a personal nice-to-have to a strategic must-have, and what this means for our community.
