An ex-Facebook engineer shares how he accidentally started a community by creating a static web page promoting the concept of 'local-first' software. Facing connectivity issues on his sailing boat, he explored and curated resources on local-first apps, leading to the creation of localfirstweb.dev. This resonated widely, resulting in a rapidly growing community focused on developing offline-capable, user-controlled applications. The story highlights the importance of community and the potential of local-first principles in web development.
