Can you explain your motive for focusing on the combination of reactive data and local deployment?
My first thought is that local-first = one user = I know what’s changing because I’m the only one using it. Perhaps valuable for monitoring external data feeds?
Yeah, I see your point. I've been assuming that local-first doesn't mean local-only. Even if it's just you, you could easily be polling something else to get data updates, as you suggest. (One original use case was a personal GitHub dashboard app that polled for new activity but provided local analytics).
I feel it should be possible to build certain types of apps that can view, query, and manipulate denormalized data without even being online. (Perhaps I shouldn't over-glamorize those days when one used to jam Access databases into Windows apps, but hopefully you get the point.) Reactivity just serves as a nice binding paradigm.
