Last week, 19 people joined our local-first meetup in Cologne, a follow-up to @localfirstconf.com. Thank you to @komiljonmaksudov.bsky.social and @jonas-schuermann.name for the talks, to everyone who came, and to our team at UMH for organizing. Next one: January or February. Recordings follow.

I cooked up a fun little CRDT demo for my talk at the first-ever Local-First Cologne meetup (luma.com/pks076r4) this thursday. Try it yourself: pixel-crdt.jonas-schuermann.name

What does a PLC have in common with a Kubernetes controller? I wrote up my Cloud Native Aarhus talk: they run the same control loop. Plus the Star Trek story behind Borg, Omega and Project Seven. www.theocharis.dev/blog/the-onl...

As a follow up to the @localfirstconf.com we are doing a unofficial local-first meetup in Cologne on the 15th of October. Maybe this can be a regular event where we can exchange knowledge? The two talks are to get the conversations started. If you are interested in joining, feel free to contact me.

Biggest and best @localfirstconf.com yet, IMO! Surprising emergent themes this year: geopolitics and EU digital sovereignty, and strong conflicting emotions on LLM-assisted coding. More: adamwiggins.com/posts/politi...

My @localfirstconf.com talk is online: how we ended up building local-first for factories, by necessity, not by choice. It ends with five requirements that stopped us adopting an existing sync engine. If we got any of them wrong, tell me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhca...

This week I spoke at @localfirstconf.com in Berlin. A lot of the audience had Claude Code open, and still applauded every time when a speaker would say something LLM-critical on stage. I feel the same. So I wrote it down: www.theocharis.dev/blog/llm-cri...
