I mean, I don't, personally. I'm writing a couple small apps to scratch my own itches and I might sell them to anyone else who wants an individual copy for personal use.

Remember when you could just buy a copy of a program and use it on your own computer? And it would never get updated to remove functionality or break because some servers were shut down? That's the experience I'm seeking from local-first software.

I think designing for casual, personal-sized data is extremely easy if you give up the idea that every program needs to be some bloated Enterprise-Ready junkware.

Ok, then this constraint (casual, personal-sized data) should be the headline as the entire architecture is downstream of it
